A GUNMAN who killed at least 38 people – including British and Irish tourists – as they sunbathed in a Tunisian beach resort hid a gun in an umbrella and disguised himself as a holidaymaker, Tunisian authorities have revealed.
The attacker – believed to be an Islamist student from the central region of the North African country – opened fire on tourists holidaying at a popular beach resort in south-eastern Tunisia.
The worst terror incident in Tunisia's history came on the same day a man was found decapitated after an attack by suspected Islamist extremists on a French factory and a Shiite mosque in Kuwait was bombed, killing at least 25 people. Although the attacks do not appear to be directly linked, they came after the so-called Islamic State (IS) called on its followers "to make Ramadan a month of calamities for the non-believers".
Eyewitnesses in Tunisia reported people fleeing as the attacker, who had hidden his Kalashnikov under a beach umbrella and wore swimwear to blend in, fired on holidaymakers staying at hotels in the beach area of Sousse.
Tunisian security forces said the gunman had entered a hotel through the pool area, shooting people as he went. Hundreds of people were believed to be sunbathing on the beach when the attack took place, at around noon local time.
Tunisia's health ministry confirmed that those killed included Britons, Tunisians, Germans and Belgians. The Irish foreign office has confirmed that one of those killed was a female Irish national. Thirty-six others have been wounded.
The interior ministry had previously said two attackers were involved, including one who fled the scene, but has since said a lone gunman was responsible. He was reportedly shot dead.
The incident is the second terrorist attack at Sousse, coming less than two years after a failed attack in October 2013.
Scottish holidaymakers Diane Boyd, from East Kilbride, and her partner David Fleming, from Coatbridge, are staying in a hotel next to the beach in Sousse.
Ms Boyd said: "We were on the beach sunbathing when he heard sudden noise which sounded like gunfire.
The couple arrived in the resort, which is popular with British and Irish tourists, on Sunday.
Olivia Leathley, 24, a chef from Stockport, was with her boyfriend Mike Jones in her room at the Riu Bellevue Park hotel when she heard "loud bangs" from the beach. She said: "We heard all these really loud bangs and we joked it was probably the reps letting off fireworks. We saw all these people running in from the beach.
"We didn't really know what was happening so we came down to the lobby to find out what was going on and they said 'Everybody stay here, we'll let you know what is going on'.
She added: "We were all waiting in the lobby, a few hundred of us thinking, what should we do, waiting for someone to give us instructions. Then, all of a sudden, from the level just below the lobby there was a huge sound of loads of machine gun fire and one of the reps just said 'run'.
Secretary of state for security Rafik Chelly said the gunman had disguised himself as a tourist.
He said: "He is Tunisian, originally from the Kairouan region [in central Tunisia]. He is a student.
Two hours later, he reported that helicopters were circling above his hotel, the El Mouradi Palm Marina.
Mr Pine said his 22-year-old son had just come out of the sea after a game of volleyball when the attacks occurred. He said there had been a large bang which holidaymakers had thought was firecrackers and a mass exodus from the beach as people rushed to safety.
"You could see then quite quickly the panic about 100 yards away, and so then people started exiting the beach pretty quickly, but only when you can start hearing bullets around your ears did you start to realise it was something more serious than firecrackers," he said.
"We do consider ourselves to be lucky in that of the hotels lined up that all access the same beach area, it seems to be the two hotels to our left and literally 100 yards down that seem to have been hit," he said.
Tunisia's president, Beji Caid Essebsi, said: "We note that Tunisia faces an international movement. It cannot respond alone to this.
According to the Foreign Office, 424,707 British nationals visited Tunisia in 2014.
• The Foreign Office has set up an emergency number for friends and family of those who may have been affected, on 020 7008 0000.
The latest attacks come just months after gunmen attacked a museum in Tunisia's capital.
On 18 March this year, two gunmen opened fire on guests at the Bardo Museum, a popular tourist attraction in Tunis, in an attack that left 23 dead and 22 injured, and ended with a seige of the building by Tunisian security forces, both gunmen being killed after a firefight with armoured police.
The incident was the first major terrorist attack in Tunisia since the popular uprising in 2011 sparked the "Arab Spring" revolts in Egypt, Syria, and Libya.
The attacks took place as Tunisian lawmakers held a committee meeting in government building connected to the museum, leading to the evacuation of the entire parliament.
Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks, calling the terrorists "knights of the caliphate" and praising their "blessed invasion of one of the dens of infidels and vice in Muslim Tunisia".
The majority of the victims of the attack on the museum were tourists, with British mother Sally Adley killed, and Japanese, Italian, German, Polish, French and Spanish also among the dead.
Meanwhile, a suicide bomber blew himself up in a failed attack on the beach in Sousse in October 2013.

The British have always been too ready to believe that foreign lands are more interesting than their own. "'This distance lends enchantment to the view." In all things concerning his native land, the Briton-or shall we say the South Briton? - has ever been the most modest appraiser: willing to listen to alien persons extolling the beauties and marvels of their own countries; while all the time England, together with Scotland, Wales and the adjacent islands, which (brushing aside all political and ethnographic niceties) we may call for our present purpose Britain, is really the most beautiful and the most interesting country in the world.
It is true that Britain does not possess such marvels of the remote past as bestrew the sands of Egypt, nor such treasures of ancient architecture as still survive in Greece and Italy; nor is it so favoured of the sun. But its own history, if less remote, is not less fascinating than that of Athens or Rome; and it is a little land that holds an empire immensely vaster than any that has been.
A distinguished and observant American, visiting England for the first time not long ago, expressed his astonishment at the overflowing loveliness of that green and pleasant land, at the inexhaustible riches of its historical buildings, its castles, cathedrals, abbeys, its princely mansions. He had been adequately informed about Scotland's beauty and its historic places; but this England so greatly surpassed his preconceived notions, so far outshone the Continental lands he had visited in its romantic places and its varied beauty, that he accused Englishmen of being either negligent or ignorant of the treasure which they owned.
'Why don't you tell the world about it?' he asked. The answer is that Englishmen have been so busy 'telling the world' about Italy and France and Spain and so many other countries, or listening to the propagandists belauding the specious charms of the Riviera, that they have overlooked their native land. If their brother Scots had ever lowered their enthusiasm for Scotia's far-famed allurements the case had been worse; but fortunately many have discovered something of England's charms on their way to Scotland.
Of course we ought to tell the world about the wonder of the British Isles. In telling the world we shall be doing something still more desirable: we shall be telling ourselves. That is the aim of WONDERFUL BRITAIN.
Ruskin gave as a reason for not visiting America that it had no old and ruined castles. America is a land of wonders and New York is surely a wonder city; but that emotional reaction which we experience only when in contact with human achievement-or perhaps the broken dreams-of ages past, is reserved, so far as the United States is concerned, for the visitor of, say, the year 2428. Britain abounds in it: there is no lack of old and ruined castles in these islands. It is the wonder and romance of them, of our glorious old cathedrals and churches, of all historic things, that we illustrate and describe in this work.
Though we cannot show anywhere in the British Isles so moving a scene of vanished splendour as the Forum of Rome, and have nothing so superbly immortal in its ruin as the Acropolis at Athens, yet have we a rich abundance of the historic and romantic with which every native should endeavour to make first-hand acquaintance. In recent years great progress has been made in tracing the ancient earthworks which prehistoric Britons formed; at Caerleon and elsewhere the England that was a Roman province is being discovered. The vestiges of the Saxon and the Dane, the splendid legacy of the Norman builders, our lovely Gothic cathedrals, the peculiarly British palaces and dwellings created by the Tudor genius, the prim elegancies of theGeorgian age; in short, the history of the British Isles as that relates to existing sites and scenes, from the days of the Druids to the days of the Great War, is the alluring and engrossing theme of these pictorial volumes.
There was a time, and not so long ago, when the exploration of the historic highways and byways of our own land was the privilege of the few. Fifty years ago a journey from London to Edinburgh must have seemed a more considerable undertaking than a journey to Rome appears to-day. But the popularising of travel, first by the extension of railways, then by the invention of the bicycle, and finally by the democratising of the motor car, has so opened up the byways of the British Isles that there is no longer any corner of the country that can be called 'out-of the-way.' The motor car has been criticised as a mere instrument of speed, and many motorists have no better idea than to rush along the high-roads 'all out.' But the craze for speed does not endure, and after its exhilaration the motorist's chief desire is to have an objective when he sets forth on the road: somewhere to go and something to see. He will find in the pages of WONDERFUL BRITAIN pictures and descriptions of as many historic and beautiful sights along the highways and byways of our islands as will take him years to visit. The cyclist and the tramper are relatively in similar -case; but, entirely apart from this practical use of the work, all who delight in reading about places that are noted for history and romance -and who does not?-will find in these volumes abundant matter for their entertainment and instruction.
Our chapters follow no stiff order; they are printed in no sequence of time or subject. In this way a pleasing variety of interest is attained; but within the pages of WONDERFUL BRITAIN is enough to provide the student with an outline of British history, and for those readers who especially desire to increase their knowledge of our romantic past, a chronology is given at the end of the work wherein all the chapters are related to their respective periods of history, and if re-read in that sequence they will form a delightful course of study in Britain's story.

Life, Stories, WOK A-Z Challenge
"W" is for The Words
November 27, 2013 by Jasmine D. Lowe
Writers of Kern Blogging Challenge (A-Z)
Warning: Minor Spoilers
I recently watched the film, The Words, not too long ago and fell in love with the story telling and the message behind the images. The 2012 mystery romantic drama film stars Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana, Olivia Wilde, Jeremy Irons, Ben Barnes, Dennis Quaid, and Nora Arnezeder, and was written and directed by Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal.
The story follows a writer, Rory Jansen, at the peak of his long sought after literary success, who discovers the steep price he must pay for stealing another man's work. He gets to publish the next great American novel, but what is hidden to the public is the fact that he didn't write it.
It's when his past comes back to haunt him that he and the audience recognizes the steep price that must be paid for stealing the old man's work. I think what made me connect to the film on a deeper level was how the old man described how he came about writing the now, famously published novel that was stolen from him.
The old man had poured his heart and soul onto the old wrinkled pages covered in ink spots and spilled red wine. The story felt so real and connected better with all those who read it because of the way the author let go and let his fingers be his therapist. The real author lived the words with real pain and suffering and it made those arrangement of words much more deep than anything else Rory Jansen, the writer who stole the old man's work, has written before it.
I enjoyed the film, not only because of what I believed was amazing storytelling, but because the way they described the old man's writing process and the emotion that made the words what they were. They pointed out that there was a difference from the books that Jansen wrote before the stolen book and the book that the old man wrote, and they pointed out that old man's story was still amazing despite all the grammatical errors and misspelled words.
After the old man confronted Jansen and told him about the story behind the book, the old man says, "You think you can just steal a man's life and expect there to be no price to pay? … We all make difficult choices in life. The hard thing is to live with them." However, the old man doesn't want money, he doesn't want his name on the book, and he doesn't want a piece of the fame that Jansen had found after stealing the old man's work. The only thing the old man wanted was for Jansen to know the life behind the words and to tell him about the pain he had to feel in order to produce those words.
A huge part of being a great writer doesn't have anything to do with being a spelling bee champion or being the best copyeditor around. It's about opening up the mind, searching your soul and going to deeper places in order to birth a beautiful story. After watching this film I felt the moral of the story was, yes, there is a consequence to every action and decision you make, but that writers don't just write things if they have nothing to say, and that the best writing is when there is life and great meaning behind the words.

Very cool piece, Jasmine. It's thought provoking, makes us think what it means to be a writer..
I loved these true lines that you wrote: "A huge part of being a great writer doesn't have anything to do with being a spelling bee champion or being the best copyeditor around. It's about opening up the mind, searching your soul and going to deeper places in order to birth a beautiful story."
And, thanks for the tip on the film. xoA

I really enjoyed this blog, the story reminds me of the journalist that was making up stories and it wasn't until the veteran he wrote about called him on his lies. I have to check this film out. Thanks Jasmine.

Q: desktop byobu launcher doesn't read my ~/.byobu/windows.ssh_sessions file Any idea why the desktop launcher "gnome-terminal -x byobu" doesn't read my ~/.byobu/windows.ssh_sessions?
Here's my ~/.byobu/windows.ssh_sessions file I use with byobu successfully:
screen -t Ubu-MySQL ssh master@192.168.1.3
screen -t Ubu-alfresco ssh master@192.168.1.4
screen -t Ubu-Master ssh master@192.168.1.5
screen -t Ubu-zimbra ssh master@192.168.1.6
screen -t Ubu-SugarCRM ssh master@192.168.1.7
screen -t Ubu-eFront ssh master@192.168.1.8

and here's the variable entry from my .bashrc:
export BYOBU_WINDOWS=/home/jj/.byobu/windows.ssh_sessions byobu

I tried it in .profile also, no love.
Thanks for your time.

A: I believe that you're supposed to start byobu by running byobu-launcher, which handles all the setup details and config files.
Edit: You are setting an environment variable in .bashrc, which means it will only be set in bash. Running byobu directly from gnome-terminal means that bash is not involved. Putting the environment variable in .profile should make it session-wide, but you would have to log out and back in for it to take effect.

A: You're almost there, with the answer nearly in your own question!
All you need is:
export BYOBU_WINDOWS=ssh_sessions byobu

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has revealed that he does not plan to leave the club until they win the Champions League. The Argentine has scored over 80 goals in all competitions for City since his arrival in 2011. He has also won two Premier League titles and a League Cup, but the only major club championship missing from his resume is a Champions League.
It is quite a bold statement from the Argentine considering City's predicament in this season's competition. After four games, the team have racked up just two points, and sit in last place behind Bayern Munich, AS Roma, and CSKA Moscow.
"It's easy for everyone to suddenly decide it's the man at the helm who is to blame, but I would say in situations like this, when we haven't played well as a group, we are all in it together," Aguero continued.
Manchester City finally made it into the knockout stages of the Champions League last year – Aguero's first time in that stage since joining the club. Although they were knocked out by Barcelona, it surely has given Aguero hope that he could one day win a Champions League for the blue side of Manchester. A player of his stature could definitely change the fortunes of a club like Manchester City and propel them to success not only in domestic football, but on the continental stage as well.

Crypto Space Over The Past Week From 25 of February To 3 Of March, 2019
At the end of the week, we resume everything that the crypto community talked about over the past seven days.
In the first half of 2019, the Facebook will be able to release its own digital asset. This was reported by the newspaper New York Times, citing four anonymous sources. The publication notes that, at present, Facebook Coin developers are negotiating simultaneously with several cryptocurrency exchanges for the subsequent listing of the coin. What will it be used for? There are no exact answers.
Also this week hard fork Constantinople/St. Petersburg, the scandalous mining service Coinhive announced the termination of its activities, and the accounts and cards of one of the clients of Tinkoff Bank were blocked after the operation with cryptocurrency.
Crypto analyst and trader Peter Brandt predicted the imminent disappearance of altcoins. He compares the current situation on the cryptocurrency market with the period of 2013-2016. After this stage is completed, Brandt predicts a resumption of aggressive growth of Bitcoin or the so-called "dead cat" effect, that is, a slight increase in the value of the asset.
According to Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, the Bitcoin drop in 2018 made it possible to determine its true value. Wozniak admitted that he did not buy Bitcoin for investment, but for experiments with cryptocurrency when paying for goods and services. In January, he announced that he had sold all his BTC.

Venezuelan economist Carlos Hernandez admitted that he "stores all the money in Bitcoin." Hernandez explained that he does not own a single Bolivar, the official fiat currency, since its inflation rate reaches 3.5% per day, while the annual rate is 1.7% million. The economist says that he "does not have a bank account abroad and considering currency control in Venezuela, and there are no easy ways to use more stable fiat currencies. "
According to BitInfoCharts data , the activity of Bitcoin users has been growing rapidly since the beginning of 2019. During February 2019, there was a tendency for steady growth in the number of transactions in the Bitcoin network, which reached approximately the same level as in January 2018, when Bitcoin was trading at the highest mark in its history.

Problems With Law
A bitcoin trader from the Netherlands was attacked in his home by a group of robbers who were disguised as police officers. Thierd H., 38, who had previously worked in Italy and then in Thailand, was the victim of a forced visit to his home of three people in bullet-proof vests and police clothes who threatened him with a firearm. In the eyes of his 4-year-old daughter, the criminals put a electric drill on the man's chest and turned it on, causing him serious injuries.

Man Who Led Police on Chase over Lookout Mt. Indicted as Felon Possessing Gun
BIRMINGHAM – A federal grand jury on Wednesday indicted for illegal gun possession a northeast Alabama man who in April led police on a dangerous chase from Fort Payne into Menlo, Ga., on rural roads over Lookout Mountain, announced U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town and Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Special Agent in Charge Marcus Watson.
A one-count indictment filed in U.S. District Court charges DENNIS JOHN JOHNSON, 43, of Albertville, with being a convicted felon in possession of a Smith & Wesson .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol. The indictment cites prior felony convictions of second-degree assault in Marshall County Circuit Court in November 1997, unlawful possession of a controlled substance in Etowah County Circuit Court in June 2001, and third-degree robbery in Marshall County Circuit Court in April 2014.
"Felons with firearms will be charged with a federal crime, prosecuted in federal court, and, if convicted, do federal time in a federal prison where there is no sanctuary of parole," Town said. "We are indebted to the brave officers who put themselves in harm's way to end the car chase where this defendant endangered the lives of civilians and police officers."
"ATF's priority of reducing violent crime results in court actions such as this," Watson said. "The use of Crime Gun Intelligence in working with our law enforcement partners is an effective resource to provide a safe environment for our communities."
Johnson had the handgun with him when police arrested him on April 9 as he ran from a pickup truck he abandoned on Georgia Highway 48 in Chattooga County, Ga., according to a Fort Payne Police arrest report. Johnson jumped from the truck after fleeing police in Fort Payne and speeding away along U.S. Highway 11 to Hammondville. His flight took him onto Alabama Highway 117 and through Valley Head and Mentone before crossing the state line into Georgia, according to the arrest report.
Fort Payne officers had tried to pull over the pickup truck because the license plate was registered to a different vehicle, the police report said. In the ensuing chase, speeds topped 100 mph as Johnson ran vehicles off the narrow roads, swerved toward police vehicles and aimed his speeding truck at the Hammondville police chief, who was running across the road to deploy a stop strip. The first Fort Payne police vehicle in pursuit behind Johnson hit the stop strip and crashed, seriously injuring one Fort Payne officer, according to the police report.
The maximum penalty for a convicted felon in possession of a firearm is 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
ATF investigated the case in conjunction with the Fort Payne Police Department, DeKalb County Sheriff's Office and the Chattooga County, Ga., Sheriff's Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan S. Keim is prosecuting the case.

Ба́ренц-регио́н (Баренцев/Евроарктический регион) — это название, данное сторонниками установления международного сотрудничества после распада Советского Союза землям вдоль побережья Баренцева моря, от Нурланна в Норвегии до Кольского полуострова в России и далее вплоть до Уральских гор и Новой Земли, а также на юг до Ботнического залива Балтийского моря и великих озер Ладожского и Онежского. Среди проектов — Баренцево шоссе от Будё в Норвегии через Хапаранду в Швеции и Финляндии до Мурманска в России. Одним из конкретных признаков расширения связей в регионе является открытие в 2006 году магазина IKEA в Хапаранде (Швеция), ориентированного на покупателей, находящихся в 500 км от Мурманска и северной Норвегии. В регионе проживает шесть миллионов человек на площади 1,75 млн км2; три четверти территории принадлежат России.

Региональное сотрудничество было официально открыто 11 января 1993 года по инициативе Норвегии во главе с министром иностранных дел Торвальдом Столтенбергом. Включает в себя губернии Норвегии Нурланн, Тромс и Финнмарк, лены Швеции Вестерботтен и Норрботтен, провинции Финляндии Лаппи, Похьойс-Похьянмаа и Кайнуу, и регионы России Мурманская область, Архангельская область, Республика Коми, Ненецкий автономный округ и Республика Карелия. Четыре государства-участника по очереди руководят сотрудничеством. Участие Норвегии координируется Норвежским Баренцевым Секретариатом в Киркенесе. Участие Швеции и Финляндии регулируется окружными администрациями в Умео (Вестерботтен) и Рованиеми (Лапландия). В январе 2008 года был создан Международный секретариат Баренцева региона, призванный оказывать техническую поддержку многосторонней скоординированной деятельности в рамках Совета Баренцева/Евроарктического региона и Баренцева регионального совета. Этот Секретариат расположен в Киркенесе в том же здании, что и Норвежский Баренцев Секретариат.

Баренцево региональное сотрудничество
Площадь Баренцева сотрудничества составляет 1,75 млн км2, а население составляет более 5 млн жителей.

Сотрудничество в рамках Баренц-региона осуществляется на двух уровнях: центральном и региональном. Для руководства сотрудничеством на центральном уровне создан Совет Баренцева/Евроарктического региона, в который входят министры иностранных дел четырёх стран. На региональном уровне работает Региональный Совет, в состав которого входят административные руководители сотрудничающих территорий (губернаторы). Региональный совет (BRC) является форумом для Баренцева регионального сотрудничества, целью которого является содействие использованию местных региональных знаний, с помощью которых участники BRC могут найти точки соприкосновения, на которых они могут основывать своё сотрудничество, трансграничные проекты и программы.
Региональный комитет (RC) отвечает за подготовку заседаний Регионального совета и за выполнение решений, принятых Региональным советом.

Региональный совет (BRC) состоит из 13 стран-членов / регионов / коренных народов Финляндии, Норвегии, России и Швеции.

 Финляндия: Оулу, Лапландия, Кайнуу и Северная Карелия
 Норвегия: Тромс-ог-Финнмарк, Нурланн.
 Россия: Архангельская область, Карелия, Коми, Мурманск и Ненецкий автономный округ.
 Швеция: Норрботтен и Вестерботтен

Коренные народы саамы, ненцы и вепсы также имеют своих представителей в региональном сотрудничестве. Председательство в Региональном комитете принадлежит тому же округу, что и в Региональном совете, и, следовательно, оно сменяется каждые два года. Председательство 2017—2019 находилось в Финнмарке, Норвегия.

Предыдущие четыре председательства были следующими:
 Регион Кайнуу, Финляндия в 2015—2017
 Архангельская область, Россия в 2013—2015
 Лен Норрботтен, Швеция в 2011—2013
 Тромс, Норвегия в 2009—2011

Баренцев регион — Семь принципов
BRC сформулировал концепцию семи принципов и целей регионального сотрудничества.

 Первый принцип заключается в том, что благополучие жителей региона должно быть основой для всех действий, осуществляемых в рамках Баренцева регионального сотрудничества.
 Второй принцип призывает к улучшению сотрудничества между вовлеченными людьми. Это не должно зависеть от иерархии или уровня человека ни в его / её собственной организации, ни в сотрудничестве BRC.
 Третий принцип гласит, что способные действующие лица в региональной и национальной сферах должны сотрудничать для достижения общих целей. Это позволяет улучшить процедуры при пересечении границы как на уровне отдельных товаров, так и на уровне импортируемых / экспортируемых товаров.
 Четвертый принцип требует сохранения местной культуры, уникальных обычаев и образа жизни соответствующих коренных народов каждой местности. Помощь в установлении связей и обязательств среди коренных народов имеет большое значение.
 Пятый принцип признаёт политический капитал, которым обладает Баренцев региональный совет, и по этой причине желательно, чтобы совет использовал этот ресурс для лучшей защиты Баренц-региона.
 В-шестых, предпоследний принцип отмечает, что региональные власти, принимающие участие в деятельности BRC, должны лучше учитывать региональное развитие в своих отдельных регионах в сферах экономического, социального и экологического развития. BRC также призывает этих участников подчеркнуть устойчивость этих действий в области развития.
 Седьмой и последний принцип рекомендует, чтобы сотрудничество BRC было примером того, как сотрудничество может быть как успешным, так и мирным, и как эти методы могут работать в качестве основы для вдохновения других.

Баренцева программа 2014—2018
Основу приоритетных направлений Баренц-программы на 2014—2018 годы можно найти в руководящих принципах BRC. Темами на 2014—2018 годы являются экономика, окружающая среда, образование и исследования, мобильность и культура.

Экономический рост и его сущность являются ключевыми факторами регионального развития в Баренцевом регионе. Программа признает значение малых и средних компаний. Сотрудничество между крупными компаниями и НИИ играет ключевую роль в региональной экономике. Это развитие происходит особенно в отношении международного рынка, если компании могут предложить инновационные услуги и продукты.

Образование и исследования играют ключевую роль в экономическом росте, но они являются важным фактором, если Баренц-регион хочет создать достаточную базу для инновационной и информационной работы. В программе на 2014—2018 годы большое значение имеет сотрудничество между высшими учебными и исследовательскими учреждениями, государственным и частным секторами.

Большой размер Баренцева региона и удалённость населённых пунктов имеют свои собственные проблемы. Хорошая транспортная сеть, инновационная и мощная экономика призваны решить эти проблемы. В настоящее время проблемы заключаются в межобщинных перевозках и мобильности, а также в отсутствии разветвленной транспортной сети между трансграничными субъектами. Это видно по инфраструктуре и проблемам, связанным с транспортом, на восточно-западной границе.

Вкратце цели программы развития на 2014—2018 годы таковы:

 Содействовать росту творческих и быстрорастущих предприятий в регионе и расширять сотрудничество между приграничными регионами в сферах экономики и качества жизни. Совместное управление природными ресурсами и их охраной являются ключом к устойчивому развитию. Устойчивость также требует учитывать изменение климата и то, как регионы Евроарктического региона будут адаптироваться к нему.
 Отсутствие хорошей трансграничной транспортной сети требует большего от сторон сотрудничества. Это повышает трансграничную мобильность в каждом секторе, от учебы до частных и туристических поездок и туризма. Конвергенция кооперативной сети также требует, чтобы каждый участник понимал культуру другого и место происхождения, откуда он родом.

Структура Баренцева регионального совета и другие значимые региональные игроки в арктическом регионе

Региональный совет Баренцева региона работает в сфере, где есть много других участников, стимулирующих интерес. Это Баренцево Евро-Арктическое сотрудничество, Европейский союз, Северное измерение, Арктический совет и Совет министров Северных стран.

Региональный совет Баренц-региона и Совет Баренцева/Евроарктического региона (BEAC) имеют несколько общих органов. К ним относятся Международный Баренцев Секретариат (IBS) и Рабочая группа коренных народов (WGIP) и, наконец, Объединённый комитет по сотрудничеству в области спасения.

И BEAC и BRC имеют собственные органы при своих кооперативных организациях. BRC имеет Баренцев региональный комитет (RC) и три основные рабочие группы (WG): по окружающей среде, транспорту и логистике и, наконец, по инвестициям и экономическому сотрудничеству.

BEAC имеет свой Комитет старших должностных лиц (CSO) и при нем несколько рабочих групп и других органов. Это Рабочая группа по экономическому сотрудничеству, окружающей среде, таможенному сотрудничеству, Целевая группа по лесному сектору Баренц-региона и комитет по организации дорожного движения для Общеевропейского транспортного пространства Баренцева/Евроарктического региона.

Между BRC и BEAC существует несколько совместных рабочих групп (JWG) в своих областях знаний. Это Рабочая группа по здравоохранению и смежным социальным вопросам, Рабочая группа по образованию и научным исследованиям, Рабочая группа по энергетике, Рабочая группа по культуре, Рабочая группа по туризму и, наконец, Рабочая группа по молодежи.

China Develops High-Performance Radar to Render US Stealth Technology Ineffective
by Free West Media
in Cross-Posted, News
Various research projects in China have been focused on anti-stealth radar advances, including developing quantum radar technology. China has reported yet another breakthrough in its technological competition with the US.
The South China Morning Post (SCMP), which appears in Hong Kong, has revealed that Chinese researchers have developed a medium-wave infrared system that renders the "stealth" technology of enemy fighter jets ineffective. The system can already identify aircraft at a distance of 285 kilometers.
The US Air Force has had "stealth" aircraft since the 1980s, which develop a much smaller radar profile than conventional aircraft due to their special coating and their unique contours. American "stealth" fighter jets were used in Iraq and against Yugoslavia in 1999 and are difficult to detect with most radars.
China and Russia also have modern stealth aircraft.
According to the Chinese media report, an American F-35A with a maximum speed of around 2 000 kilometers per hour could be tracked up to 9 minutes before reaching the target if the jet approaches at maximum speed. If an approaching aircraft is discovered sooner, it gives the air defense a larger time window to respond.
The small infrared search-and-track system picked up the heat signature of a fast-moving aircraft from an unusually long distance and much faster than most existing heat seekers, the engineering team said.
Long-distance infrared radar technology is an important factor in anti-stealth warfare. Since military aircraft equipped with stealth technology can dodge traditional radar, its body and engines nevertheless emit heat.
Most infrared cameras cannot see beyond a range of 20km because of long infrared waves which are easily absorbed by the atmosphere. The heat-seeking radar for the Chinese J-20 stealth aircraft can pick up a US B-2 stealth bomber and an F-22 fighter from 150km and 110km away respectively.
Anti-stealth radar systems usually require a large antenna to pick up the weak signature of stealth aircraft equipped with technology to absorb or deflect radar signals, but China has developed an anti-stealth radar so small it could be quietly and easily set up almost anywhere, including on a rooftop, according to the research team from Chinese defence contractor Sichuan Jiuzhou Electric Group Company.
The heat-seeking radar can also emit a powerful laser beam to illuminate the target aircraft and gather other information, according to the researchers. Due to its small size, the device could be mounted on a car, an airplane or even a satellite for a variety of applications, including surveillance, early warning and (missile) guidance, it said.
"The outline of the target, the rotor, the tail and the number of engines can be clearly identified from the infrared spectrum image," explained team leader Liu Zhihui.
The Chinese fleet could place such radars on the countless boats in the East and South China Seas, creating a forward-looking radar warning zone. In a military emergency – a war with the US – this would bring a decisive advantage and would increase enemy losses.
The news of the technological breakthrough was released to coincide with joint military exercises with Russia this week as tensions around Taiwan continue to rise after the visit of US Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi.
US sends warships to Taiwan
The US meanwhile dispatched two Ticonderoga-class cruisers to the Taiwan Straits. This is a change from the usual US Arleigh Burke class destroyers, which are smaller than Ticonderoga-class cruisers, sent to conduct such missions.
Beijing responded by putting its military on high alert and signaling its readiness "to stop any provocations in a timely manner". It castigated the US as "the destroyer of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait."
The PLA Eastern Theater Command Spokesperson Shi Yi issued a statement on Sunday stating that "the theater command's troops keep high alert and are fully prepared to crack down on any provocation anytime".

Military exercises with Russia
The Chinese military has arrived in Russia to participate in the Vostok-2022 exercises, Tan Kefei, spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Defense, according to RIA Novosti.
"Representatives of the Chinese ground forces and air force who are participating in the Vostok 2022 exercise have already arrived at their destination, set up troop groups, set up a field camp and conducted reconnaissance of the area, and conducted training flights to adapt to the terrain. Representatives of the Chinese Navy grouped with Russian ships and carried out a communication check and other exercises," said Tan Kefei.
According to him, participation in the Vostok-2022 exercises in Russia is aimed at increasing the level of strategic cooperation with the military of other countries, improving the ability to jointly solve security problems and eliminate various threats.

"War photographers or journalists go to the war affected areas to cover the conflict, the war. But once the war is over, the memories of war aren't shared. The people who experienced the war or even those who didn't experience the war directly, might have memories to talk about. I was born just 3 years after the war and survivors still shared their painful experiences. Just because the war is over, it does not mean that country is back in peace. It takes decades for a war-stricken country. People have been psychologically affected. This project is my way of talking about the memories of war," says Cambodian photographer Kim Hak.
Walking through 'Alive' an exhibition of photos by Hak, at Eba Bahi in Tangal, is a walk through down the memory lane of the survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime. Some of the stories that Hak has unearthed were memories that families never spoke about before.Through a photographic series of objects that belonged to individuals and families, Hak brings out personal stories from this brutal regime and keeps those memories alive.
Below is an excerpt from an interview with Hak.
You started the project with objects and memories from your own family.
I first started with the memories of my own families and a few objects that we had.
When in 1975, the Khmer Rouge arrived, many people had to throw away their old photos and ID cards in order to hide their previous background. If the Khmer Rouge found out who they were, especially if they were educated people, they would have been killed. My father was one of the educated people. He also worked as a government officer. So my mum threw away a lot of old photos but also took a big risk to keep some photos so to remember family members and old friends. My mum wrapped those photos in plastic and buried some under the ground for four years. I didn't know about this until I started this project in 2014. And my mum showed me the location where she had buried those photos only earlier this year. I realized that memories such as these were important parts of history.
It has been over forty years since the Khmer Rouge took power and the people who experienced it are getting old and dying. If these people pass away, and we don't record these memories, they will be lost.
I have also extended this project to families of my close friends. The exhibition I am showing includes objects from four families in Cambodia and a few from Cambodian Australians. This is an ongoing project. While working on the series, I began questioning about the survivors of Khmer Rouge who left for other countries. What objects did they take along? Last year I worked with Cambodian Australians. End of this year, I am going to France to work with Cambodian French there and next year perhaps with Cambodian Americans. Once all the materials are collected, I want to create a photobook.
Was there something in particular, any object or moment or incident, that inspired this series?
One object that led me to these memories is the kettle that belongs to my family. For 35 years of my life, I have always seen this kettle. The kettle is very old and broken but my first sister kept repairing and using it to boil water even when there were other new kettles. So I started to question my sister and mother about why the kettle was so important.
During the war, we didn't have any privacy. Even when we raised chickens, we couldn't eat them. Sometimes my mum would catch a chicken at night and boil it in the kettle. One day my father was sick and very weak so she caught a chicken and gave it to him. But my father was afraid of getting killed and he didn't dare to eat it. Today, this has become a joke my mother uses on my father.
What is something that you keep in mind when making these photographs?
First, it's the object. Second, the memory attached to the object. Before I start shooting the photos, I have casual conversations with the owners of the objects. Then I go back to the owners to record these stories. I listen to these stories many times and take some time to think over it. I pick out clues that connect the object to the memory and then photograph them.
I don't choose objects for their charm or beauty. I make sure that the objects are the ones that stayed with the owners through all these years.
Also, I chose a black background to photograph these objects. This is not only to make the objects stand out but also to signify the dark history of the Khmer Rouge itself.
What has been the reaction from people back home when you exhibited this work there?
I have showed this exhibition in two different cities in Cambodia and also in a couple of places outside Cambodia. After the exhibitions, people started talking about my work. A Cambodian Australian called and told me that his mother also shared a similar story of the kettle and chicken. Another Cambodian living in New Zealand called to tell me that his family also wrapped photos in plastic and buried them. Through these images, common memories of many families have emerged and they have started talking about them.

Throughout the week, XLR8R posts all sorts of stuff online—news, MP3 downloads, podcasts, artists interviews, gear information, album reviews, and whatever else we think might be pertinent to our audience. We'd like to think that some of this content is actually helpful (not to mention interesting) for our readers, but until now, it's rarely been designed specifically to assist the members of the XLR8R faithful with their day-to-day lives. Beginning next month, that's going to change, as NYC jack-of-all-trades Nick Hook will be taking the helm of our brand-new advice column, Hi, Doctor Nick!
Okay, so maybe Nick Hook isn't actually a doctor, but he is a seasoned musician, DJ, traveler, and man of the world. Perhaps you know Nick's work with his band Cubic Zirconia, or saw him perform as part of El-P's live band back in the day. In the studio, he recently helped produce music by artists such as L-Vis 1990 and Azealia Banks. Last fall, he was one of the participants at the 2011 Red Bull Music Academy in Madrid. Simply put, Nick Hook is one of those music guys who seems to know just about everyone and has been just about everywhere. More importantly, he knows all about music—different genres, different scenes, different eras, different labels, different production techniques, different equipment... the man dabbles in almost everything.

DENVER -- A controversy at the the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, as the board of directors will now allow patrons to conceal-carry guns inside.
The museum started responding to people last night, and redirected them to email socialmedia@dmns.org for more information.
That's after a Westword article came out about the policy change.
According to that article, the museum started looking at this after the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris and the Dec. 2 attack in San Bernardino.
The board of directors consulted with the Denver Police Department and they voted early this month to lift the ban.
So concealed carry firearms are now allowed inside the museum. That's for those with a permit, which does require a background check and training.
Under state law, permit holders can carry in all areas except K through 12 schools, certain federal builidings and private properties where the owner has banned it.
Other venues - including the Denver Zoo and the Denver Art Museum already allow concealed-carry permit holders to carry guns inside.


The specific duties of the office of elder are, together with the ministers of the Word, to have supervision over Christ's church, that every member may conduct himself properly in doctrine and life according to the gospel; and faithfully to visit the members of the congregation in their homes to comfort, instruct, and admonish them with the Word of God, reproving those who behave improperly. They shall exercise Christian discipline according to the command of Christ against those who show themselves unbelieving and ungodly and refuse to repent and shall watch that the sacraments are not profaned. Being stewards of the house of God, they are further to take care that in the congregation all things are done decently and in good order, and to tend the flock of Christ which is in their charge. Finally, it is the duty of elders to assist the ministers of the Word with good counsel and advice and to supervise their doctrine and conduct.

Hume City FC vs Melbourne Knights Betting Tip
Hume city is located on the 4th place with 34 points. They are in good
form, and in a series from 7 matches without defeat. At home playing
much better and achieve more goals. In the last round they drew with
South Melbourne 2:2. The last 6 matchs at home have been efficient, and I
think that in the match will be three or more goals. In the first
meeting this season Melbourne Knights won 1:0. Hume City wants to take
revenge for the defeat and will head aggressively from the beginning of
the match. Melbourne Knights is located at 7 place with 28 points and
match them effective.

USS Theodore Roosevelt Feature Report
Imagine you're flying a multi-million dollar jet, it's not 'fat for gas', it's night-time and you still have live bombs aboard, you're tired and you need to land, but your homebase is little more than a postage stamp in the middle of a rough, rolling temperamental sea. Yet this scenario is one of those faced almost everyday by the aircrews of America's Big Stick, the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) during its current operations in the Persian Gulf.
Tony Osborne spent a day onboard "The Big Stick". All photography by the author unless otherwise stated.
Each day, the aircraft of the ship's huge Air Wing - Carrier Air Wing 8 - including Tomcats, Hornets, Prowlers, Hawkeyes as well as the ubiquitous little Vikings are sent blasting off catapults into the air for missions lasting up to six hours, either over the Persian Gulf for Maritime Security Operations (MSOs), or deep into Iraq as part of the continuing campaign against insurgents operating in Iraq as part of Operation Steel Curtain.
Since the ship began operations in September, hundreds of sorties have been flown and thousands of pounds worth of ordnance have been expended in support of the troops on the ground and despite their ship being hundreds of miles off shore, surrounded by the safety of the vast open sea, all on board say they want to do their best to make the lives of their compatriots on the ground, in both the American and Coalition forces, as comfortable and safe as possible.
Even during the relative peace of the Iraqi Parliamentary elections, which occurred during the author's visit to the ship, missions continued around the clock.
Among those taking on the task are the Tomcat crews from VF-213 - 'The Black Lions', and VF-31 - 'The Tomcatters'. This cruise is a proud one for them as they take the famous F-14 on its last ever operational cruise. Once the carrier returns home in early 2006, their much loved and revered F-14 Tomcats will be taken away from them to be replaced by the more modern, and cost-effective F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.
Lt Matt Nieswand, 26, from New Jersey who serves with VF-213 was the last ever pilot to be trained on the Tomcat at NAS Oceana, and will have spent just a year on the 'movie star' machine before it's finally retired and he will transition to the Super Hornet.
"It was a strange feeling that everyone was saying their goodbyes and farewells to an aircraft I was learning to fly. For me, this is the ultimate aircraft, when you think of the Navy and its aircraft carriers this is the aircraft that people think of, and that's why I wanted to fly it.
"It's going to be sad to see the aircraft go, nothing really compares with this machine, especially in the long-range attack role, there are very few that can match it.
"The flying over Iraq has been challenging, and even though we are about to retire the jet, we are still adding new pieces of technology to it.
"Currently we are using a system which hooks up the Infra-Red and targeting systems, which allow the guys on the ground to see what we see up there, so we are still at that cutting edge.
"But nothing can prepare you for landing at night - day landings are pretty easy by comparison, but those at night still send your heart racing."
Missions by the Air Wing's Tomcats have seen the jets carrying a range of loads, often asymmetric with 500lb GPS-guided JDAMS and laser-guided bombs sitting side-by-side on the belly while a LANTIRN pod is usually fitted on pylons in the wing root.
Some have lasted five or six hours, involving two or three refuelling prods either from the carrier's own Viking squadron VS-24 Scouts, or from the many Coalition tankers based in the region. Recent missions even saw Tomcats strafing insurgent positions west of Baghdad called in by Marine Forward Air Controllers. One incident involving a Tomcat crew from VF-31 was the talk of the ship during UKAR's visit when their jet strafed insurgents who were within seconds of firing Rocket Propelled Grenades at a Marine sniper position.
Very few of these missions would be possible without the support given by the crews aboard the Air Wing's Hawkeyes, Prowlers and of course the Lockheed Viking whose invaluable ability to off-load fuel to the most thirsty of Tomcats and Hornets.
However, the Viking faces a bleak future in the US Navy, its old role of anti-submarine warfare is considered obsolete and its refuelling role will soon be replaced by the 'Five Wet at Sunset' - configured Super Hornet. In fact nowhere is this more apparent than onboard the Roosevelt, whose Viking squadron, VS-24 Scouts will be disbanded on its return to the United States.
Lt Clay Waddill, 27 has been a Viking crew member for four years, and he says he will look back on his career with the Viking with great pride.
"When I joined the Navy, I have to admit I hadn't really heard of the Viking, but when I found out a little bit more about it, I realised that this was a community I wanted to be part of.
"Our original role is long gone, it was decided that there was no need for it anymore, but our new role is just as important.
"It's not the most attractive aircraft on the carrier, but it's certainly one of the most impressive flyers, but the aircraft earns its nickname the Hoover very well because of the noise it makes, but it's a great aircraft and a great community."
In fact, despite being one of the less romantic aircraft onboard, its often been a sight for the sore eyes of fighter aviators, particularly over Iraq, where aircraft may need to top-off their tanks three or four times.
If you think being in the air sounds unforgiving, spare a thought for the thousands of men and women on the flight deck and down below, whose sole job is to keep the Air Wing functioning, from the chefs, who keep stomachs full with a breathtaking range of foods to the sailors who work in the laundries, to those keeping the ship moving in the engine rooms and reactor departments right up to the technicians, mechanics and air traffic controllers.
They're not just on the carrier either; there are also many sailors onboard the warships and submarines which give the carrier its 'ring of steel' protection and of course the re-supply ships and crews of the Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) Greyhound aircraft from VRC-40, who have been flying record numbers of sorties to deliver the eagerly awaited mail and parts from shore.
To witness all this in action is a breath-taking experience and difficult to take in, in just 24 hours. I would like to thank the United States Navy and its Fifth Fleet Public Affairs team as well as the Public Affairs Officers aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt for all the hard work they did in getting me aboard the ship. It was an experience I will never forget.

Amir Khan Menu
Profile & Record News Next fight Stream Results Potential fights Tickets Discuss
Orthodox (R)
Pro RDS
Born to parents of Pakistani origin in Bolton, England, just near Manchester, Amir Khan exhibited a love for a wide range of sports, from cricket and basketball to football (soccer). He also became involved in boxing at an early age. His father introduced him to a gym at the ripe age of eight, and it would not take him long to begin taking it relatively seriously. By 11 years of age, he had begun to compete at school and on the junior circuit.
Although it was still early days, he quickly made his mark first at the Bolton Boxing Club and later at the Bury Boxing Club. This time spent under coach Mick Jelly would set a foundation for his wins as a schoolboy and three junior ABA championships. Gold medals in both the 2003 Junior Olympics and the European Student Championships soon followed–and all this by the tender age of 16. Despite adding a few more significant wins at the junior level, the fighter already had bigger goals in sight.
It was the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens that had captured his imagination as the capstone of a successful amateur career. The first obstacle, though, was to perform as well as possible in the qualifiers in Bulgaria. He placed first and went on to represent Britain in the 2004 games. The gold medal remained just out of his grasp, leaving him with a silver medal after a loss to Mario Kindelan in the final round. The young fighter got the chance to make this up to himself shortly thereafter by winning a three-round decision against Kindelan. But, again, Khan had bigger challenges on his mind at this point—with an amateur record of 101-9, he geared up for his professional debut.
Early on, fellow fighters and fans alike watched in awe as "King Khan" demonstrated amazing hand speed. Keeping out of opponents' range, this up-and-comer, known to be a fast starter, would often overwhelm and weaken opponents with staggering combinations to both the head and the body. In due time, fighters like Zab Judah, Paulie Malinaggi, Marcos Maidana, and Dmitry Salita would learn this all too well.
While these strengths swept Amir to several wins in the lightweight division, Breidis Prescott seemed to have his number. Prescott defeated the "King" in 55 seconds with a clean jab followed by a combination of hooks. A number of commentators lamented Amir's lack of a convincing answer to Prescott's left hook and subsequent combinations.
Undeterred by this defeat (and criticisms that he had a weak chin), Amir turned to trainer Freddie Roach and went on to win the WBA International lightweight title after Oisin Fagan's corner threw in the towel after just two rounds. This made Amir one of the youngest British boxers to win a championship belt. It is unclear whether or not sparring with Manny Pacquiao during this time made a difference, but it most likely did not hurt. After a win by a technical decision over Marco Antonio Barrera due to a cut, Amir retained the WBA belt and picked up the WBO Intercontinental lightweight title.
Effectively at the top of the lightweight division, the "King" decided to make the move to light welterweight. Within the year, the previously dominant lightweight would dispatch with Andreas Kotelnik by decision for the title, and Dmitry Salita by TKO in only 76 seconds.
Next, Amir effectively slogged through much longer battles with Malignaggi and Maidana, which the fighters saw through to the 11th and 12th rounds, respectively. The press went wild over the Maidana bout, which was declared the fight of the year, and the Brit received plaudits for his show of heart in the fight.
The champion continued this show of heart throughout his next few fights, but even heart has its limits. Lamont Peterson was able to cut the distance and deliver significant blows to Amir, highlighting previous criticisms that Amir could not handle himself inside the pocket. Peterson won by split decision, even though many cast doubt on the two-point deduction for pushing levied against Khan. Peterson later tested positive for PEDs, meaning the title reverted back to Amir. But, Danny Garcia stopped this streak through the lightweight division with a TKO. Amir soon made amends with a 10th-round TKO of Carlos Molina for the Silver Light welterweight title. By that time, though, he had already shifted his sights to the welterweight division.
In 2013 and 2014, Amir decided to test himself in the welterweight division. After a win in what was technically a catch-weight bout against Julio Diaz, Amir claimed the WBA International welterweight title, defeating Luis Collazo by unanimous decision. Many considered this a return to the skills that he had used in the memorable performances from earlier in his career. Wins over Devon Alexander and Chris Aligieri led Amir to bulk up and compete in the middleweight division. However, Canelo Alvarez, arguably one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world, knocked Amir out in the 6th round, shutting down hopes that entrance into the middleweight division would start out with a victory.
Throughout his career, Amir has attracted attention due to his often flamboyant lifestyle outside of the ring. He also does not mind speaking his mind while promoting fights, usually with phrases peppered with colorful language. An occasionally turbulent family life has also captured the attention of the media. His emotional approach to fights can be a double-edged sword; in some fights, this passion translates into energy and focus, but in others it seems to distract him and make him reckless.
This combination of explosive, fast-paced action in the ring and a larger-than-life persona in the media has turned some people off; others, though, only love him more for his antics. Love him or hate him, Amir Khan has built up a career and a public persona that have captivated the boxing world.
