Japan, Osaka stadium, former home ground of baseball team Nankai Hawks. The stadium situated in center of Osaka City, with capacity of 31379 seats. In 1988, The Hawks' owner company sold the team to Daiei Group and moved to Fukuoka City. As 3 remaining teams in Metro Osaka got their own stadiums, Osaka baseball stadium was abandoned for baseball and soon converted to sample housing showground. The stadium was demolished in 1998 and a shopping center was built in its place. While you can't watch a baseball game at this location anymore, you can still pick up some Nike baseball gear.
Venezuela, Caracas "Cocodrilos Sports Park" is a multi-use stadium. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the part time home stadium of Caracas FC. The stadium holds 3,000 people and lies next to a highway.
Portugal, Braga. One of the most expensive and weirdest stadiums in Portugal. The enormous rock moving process contributed heavily to the final $122 million cost, more than any other of the ten new stadiums built for European football championship in 2004. As one of the football stadiums in Portugal, it is often considered one of the most original and beautiful stadiums in the world. We find it strange.
Brazil Eco-Stadium "Janguito Malucelli" became famous for being the first "green stage" of Brazil, his main stand was built with chairs placed on top of a hill, without the use of concrete. Therefore, the stage is also called Eco-Stadium.
The Faroe Islands are an island group situated between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, approximately halfway between Scotland and Iceland. Their national football team is playing with European national teams on pitch located next to the sea. There's also a guy in a boat that collects the balls that fall into the sea during a match.
Bulgaria FC Chernomorets Balchik football club from the town of Balchik, currently playing the second division of Bulgarian football. The team plays its home games at the local "Balchik Stadium" with 6,000 of the ugliest seats we've ever seen.
Norway FC Aalesund old stadium was very strange with terrace on a hill. Club build a new stadium in 2005. It was also a home of the Norwegian Woman's Premier League matches.
Austria, Vienna the "Hohe Warte Stadium" is a multi-purpose stadium in. Primarily a football venue and the home of First Vienna football club, it has also occasionally played host to Austrian international rugby union matches and the Vienna Vikings American Football team.
Belgium FC Antwerp stadium was built in 1923 and was once one of the biggest and most luxurious soccer stadiums in Europe, now stands look totally different, each competing for the title "ugliest stand world wide".
Ukraine, absolute winner , gravity is not a best friend of players on this team. We don't have additional info about this pitch and is there any football matches going on on this field, but for sure it is fun for drivers on this road. So, go on. Hop on a plane and visit this field. Plenty of cheap flights for you to choose from. You've got to see this and all the crazy stadiums featured. They're as odd as can be.
Hi, I'm from Belgium and YES the Antwerp Fc stadium is one of the most ugly in the world.
That stadium in Singapore is clearly photoshop-faked. The floating platform is usually used for National Day Parades, concert performances, etc. How do I know? Cos I live in Singapore and I don't remember ever hearing of a football match being played there.

At-Will Employees & Wrongful Termination
When Your Business Model Adapts to the Changing Times, but Your Landlord Doesn't
Customers and business owners are eager to participate in the economy in whatever ways they can. Washingtonians enthusiastically buy food from the curbside versions of their favorite restaurants during their breaks from working at home. Adapting to the economic climate of the COVID-19 pandemic is essential to the survival of small businesses, and entrepreneurs in the District of Columbia are doing an admirable job. One major challenge that some businesses continue to face, though, is conflicts with landlords. A Washington DC small business lawyer can help DC business owners resolve conflicts related to commercial leases and other business agreements.
The Costs of Renting a Commercial Property During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Washington DC is one of the most expensive places in the United States in terms of real estate prices, and that affects the cost of rent in both residential and commercial properties. Commercial real estate is one of the biggest economic casualties of the COVID-19 pandemic, as commercial tenants struggle to pay their rent, and their landlords struggle to make payments on their mortgages. This is a major problem for small retail businesses that can no longer afford to pay the rent on their retail spaces, which have been forced to stay closed for months. Unlike most other kinds of business agreements, most leases do not contain a force majeure clause (also called an "acts of God" clause), which allows either party to get out of their contractual obligations in the event of a disaster, such as a pandemic.
The Case of Kramerbooks
Kramerbooks, with its adjoining restaurant Afterwords has been a popular hangout in Dupont Circle since the 1970s, and, like every other restaurant and retail bookstore in the District of Columbia, its operations have been greatly scaled back since March. Online sales of books have been robust, and the barbecue restaurant Federalist Pig has been operating a takeout-only pop-up restaurant during the COVID-19 shutdown. Steven Salis, who bought Kramerbooks and Afterwords several years ago, has been involved in a dispute with the restaurant's landlord since before the COVID-19 pandemic began. Salis wants to renovate the building so that the restaurant will no longer have a mezzanine level, but the landlord objects on the grounds that the change will lower the building's resale value. In May 2020, Salis announced plans to move Kramerbooks from its Dupont Circle location. Meanwhile, his lease on the building lasts until 2026. It is likely that Salis will have to pay a hefty fee to terminate the lease early, or else face a costly legal battle.
Let Us Help You Today
Even the most successful businesses are struggling to pay rent in these challenging economic times. A small business lawyer will help you find a reasonable solution to a dispute with your landlord during the COVID-19 crisis.

Access Profiles, Inc.: Equal Pay for Equal Work ~ Still an Issue in 2018!
Equal Pay for Equal Work ~ Still an Issue in 2018!
Is the United States finally Ready to close the Wage Gap?
Seems like this should be an easy concept to grasp. Anytime two people are hired to do essentially the same job, and they bring equal skills to the table, then they should be paid an equal wage.
Screams of discrimination, doesn't it?
And what is even more telling is that this is definitely something that would not be accepted if that person was paid less based on their race or religion, not simply their gender!
But there are still those who continue to believe that the gender pay gap is fiction. They believe that women make less than men, even when doing the same jobs, due to their own choices and nature.
These naysayers cite many reasons for wage disparity. But the most common mentioned are that women tend to work in stereotypically lower paying "female" jobs, women are less capable of excelling in a corporate environment, and that men have more burdens to support the family.
The AAUW (American Association of University Women) has studied these excuses and found them largely baseless.
Now more than ever, women are working in many industries that have been typically "male". They are capable, and indeed excel, when given the chance to hold supervisory, management, and executive level roles. In fact, they often bring to the table a different, and needed, perspective. And the belief that in today's world men are still the sole or primary support of the family is simply not true.
Many women are single parents or primary wage earners who are responsible for their family. There are also a large number of women who, along with their partners, need to work to keep their families afloat. Then there are single women who are solely responsible for their own financial futures.
The reality is that while the wage gap continues to effect women in many ways, the biggest effect is economic.
"Wage disparity effects our families, especially those where a woman is the primary or sole wage earner. Making less than what we are worth, limits the money available to many of us for even the basics ~ home, food, and education.
And this difference also impacts retirement. Women, who on average live longer than men, have less money to fund their later years. Less base salary means less going towards 401k contributions. It also means less available for long-term savings".
Find out more about the economic impact of the gender pay gap in "Discrimination ~ Gender Bias Keeps Us from Earning What We are Worth!".
Now is the time to truly make the Gender Pay Gap a thing of the past.
And that is why the EEOC and many states and localities are taking action.
Prohibiting employers from asking for salary history tops the list of changes necessary to help close the gender pay gap. The practice is often touted as a way to perpetuate the underpayment of women.
When women start off making less, and then a new employer bases what they offer on that past salary, women continue to be underpaid.
However, if employers are prohibited from asking about past salary, then that cycle has a better chance of being broken.
Find out more about current efforts to ban the question of Salary History in my recent article "Are You still asking for Salary History? Why You should Stop Now"!
States are looking at what "Equal Pay for Equal Work" should really mean. Currently it is thought that equal pay should apply to people doing "substantially similar" jobs. This basically means they are similar in skill level, responsibility, and working conditions.
Proposed legislation seeks to change that. They are now considering that Equal Pay should apply to "work of comparable character", a much broader definition.
I first discussed the issue of pay secrecy back in 2016.
In "What States are doing to Get Tough on the Issue of Equal Pay", I shared how the EEOC was being joined by some states, especially Massachusetts, as advocates for Equal Pay. Banning pay secrecy was one of the hot topics being addressed..
"The MA law, and similar laws in other states, also bans pay secrecy. Employers in those states can no longer keep their employees from discussing salaries. And these employees also have recourse if they are fired because they shared what they make with others.
Some companies believe that keeping salaries private is necessary to curbing resentment from those that make less. But instead, pay transparency is seen as a way to reveal wage inequality and help close the pay gap.
When employees are permitted to be completely open about what they make, pay inequity is less likely. It can also make employers more vigilant in their efforts to pay women equally.", excerpt from "What States are doing to Get Tough on the Issue of Equal Pay".
With these new and changing trends, Employers should take note!
You need to be vigilant and stay abreast of the federal, state, and local laws concerning the wage gap anywhere you do business. Compliance is essential to protecting your business from litigation and in ensuring you are treating your employees fairly.
But, as conscientious and ethical business owners, should we really need laws and regulations to tell us to do what is right?
Essentially, we know how we should treat others, and most of us try to live our daily lives this way. But when it comes to the laws and regulations that govern our businesses, things can be less clear cut.
Laws change. They can change because we elect a new president or new state and local officials. They can also change when new justices are appointed.
Suddenly existing labor laws, regulations, and guidelines may come under fire. Minimum wage laws may change. Guidelines concerning equal pay, workplace accommodations, and even what is considered a "protected class" may fluctuate under a new administration.
But does this mean our businesses should follow suit?
The bottom line is, why should we need laws and regulations to force us to run our businesses ethically? Shouldn't we simply want to do what is right and treat all our employees fairly?
And doing what is right is to pay women an equal wage.

Martyr square is a public square in downtown Beirut,Lebanon. Its history is the story of Lebanon, eventful and dramatic. The story of this square starts in the 1920s and today awaits in limbo.
During the Ottoman period, the square was known as Canon square. During the Ottoman rule, when world war 1 discriminatory practices against the locals took place a revolt occurred. This resulted with the square being used as an execution for Lebanese nationalists. After the ottoman period ended and due to the events that occurred in this square the name was changed into Martyr Square in the name of the nationalist martyrs.
Martyr square was always the center of the city, geographically, physically, socially and politically. In the 1970s when the social fabric of the city fell apart martyrs square got its fair share of hatred, bullets, and death. The green line divided the city of Beirut into east and west and passed through the square in a no mans land.
In the early 1990s when the war was finally over the surrounding buildings were razed to the floor to start a period of 'reconstruction' and amnesia.
In 2005 On the day of the demonstration and those that followed the statue seemed alive. It became a center again crowded with demonstrators hopes, banners and flags.
More than 20 years later the square remains a void in the city with big plans. Does the square today still symbolize the reality of the Lebanese geography a waste land of ideas and dreams of an unreconciled history?
I love your photos of Martyrs Square. I am writing about the Square for my graduate thesis and I have had trouble finding photos of the Square after the war, only have one (AUB didn't have any in their collection). I wanted to see if it was ok if I used the photo from 1994 or if you could let me know where you found it and I can write to the publisher.
Sorry I didn't notice you had replied any earlier, which email should i send you the pics to?
Great pictures, thanks for posting. The 84-94 transformation is so visually dramatic. Yet even in the 84 picture there seems to be a few gaping spaces. I wonder if these were empty plots or also cleared by bulldozing.
The saddest thing is how the void is being built one bit at a time since it is where 1.5million started a revolution in 2005, one that was supposed change the country. Obviously if the center of the revolution is vanishing, the revolution doesn't really exist. The same applies to Riad El-Solh square, nouvel's landmark now occupies a space that was once a direct channel of public expression.

What's Working and What's Not Working in the Drug Rehab Marketing Space?
Stodzy // Blog // Announcements // What's Working and What's Not Working in the Drug Rehab Marketing Space?
We saw a lot of important changes take place in the treatment industry. We saw a lot of positive improvements in regards to ethical marketing practices as well as some real changes in the PPC vertical.
We also continued to see changes in the landscape of digital marketing. Techniques that used to be effective a few years a ago, no longer had the same results. In contrast, we were surprised to see how well some other marketing techniques were working that we didn't expect.
In this article, we will go over all of our findings for 2017 and make some predictions for the new year.
The biggest suprise for us was how effective Google my business pages have been in creating admits. Even is cities that have high population and have lots of competition, we found that local search marketing continued to be one of the most cost effective practices a drug rehab could embark upon.
We expect this trend to continue. As Google continues to build out its local business directory, we expect more and more traffic to be funneled towards drug rehab directories and local business pages.
Also, the conversion rates on Google local search are very high. We expect this is because the push to call button is directly on the mobile search listing. As almost all of Google local search is sourced from a mobile device, it's a natural transition to make the phone call through a simple call button.
The point is, if you haven't already created your local business listing you need to do so that asap. You need to fill it with as much information as possible. You need to insert as many pictures as possible and you need to get honest reviews on the page.
Even before Google made the restrictions on paid search, we were seeing an influx in facilities wanting to buy treatment phone calls.
We approached this carefully. Buying calls seems like a simple solution to bring in more clients. However, it is important to us that rehabs have the infrastructure in place to properly field these phone calls.
One of the biggest lessons learned this year is the importance of a proper call center and call center reps. If you do not have an established team with adequate training, you will do more harm than good. Most importantly, the person calling for help will not get the help they need. Subsequently, you are burning through your marketing budget on phone calls that are not providing a return.
This is dangerous and potentially life threatening.
With that being said, we saw great results from clients who were properly staffed and set up with the right technology to field the calls, track the calls and properly route the calls. The closing percentage remained steady.
Lesson learned – if you have an admission team, a phone system, a call tracking system and well trained reps, than buying phone leads is a no brainer. TV leads performed well. Web leads performed well. There are lots of people out there in need of your services.
One of the concerns we had this year was that we saw more and more clients looking short term rather than long term. Search engine optimization is still the best marketing tool for drug rehabs.
Since the birth of Stodzy, we have seen countless clients focus the majority of their budget on short term results. This could mean PPC, media buys, press releases, etc.
When so little of the attention is focused on the long term branding, search and reputation, the position will be dreadful after a year or two years.
Every single time we have had the opportunity to be patient, methodical and deliberate with our search rankings, the client yielded phenomenal results over the course of 12-24 months. It can be scary and uncomfortable to be investing resources for work that is expected to pay off later down the line, but there is no better way to grow your treatment center than to dominate the search results.
This protects you from huge swings in the industry and more importantly, provides the best resources possible for people who are looking for help.
We did a ton of experimenting with Facebook ads. We saw mixed results.
As powerful an advertising tool as Facebook is, we are having a hard time believing that the people engaged on Facebook are the right prospects for converting into a treatment admission. It's all about intent. Chances are that someone scrolling their Facebook feed is not actively thinking about finding a treatment center.
We remain optimistic about the platform. There are just so many people on Facebook. It becomes a numbers game. After enough trial and error, we did manage to see some net positive results.
We did this by converting Facebook traffic into phone calls as well as lead forms. Between the two, we were able to build a Facebook campaign that had a net positive CPA. If you want to learn more about this, you can contact us. We saved all the data, I would be happy to share it with you.
I am so looking forward to 2018. As a man in recovery, I am optimistic about the country and the awareness of the drug problem. I am optimistic about the amazing people I see working in this industry every day and I am excited about our work.
Stodzy has been in business for 5 years now. We continue to be the leader in addiction treatment marketing. We continue to provide service as well as results and we strive to always be out doing ourselves.
2017 was a great year and 2018 will be even better.

John Innes Centre responds to new legislation for gene editing research in plants
The John Innes Centre has welcomed changes to the regulation of genome edited plants announced by Defra today, which aim to cut unnecessary red tape when using the technology in plants for research and development.
The rule changes mean that scientists and plant breeders across England will be able to undertake plant-based research and development using genetic technologies such as gene editing more easily.
The rules will apply to plants where genome editing is used to create new varieties similar to those which could have been produced more slowly through traditional breeding processes, and will unlock research opportunities to grow crops which are more nutritious, and which require less pesticide use.
Scientists undertaking research with genetic technologies will continue to notify Defra of any research trials. For now, gene edited plants will still be classified as genetically modified organisms and commercial cultivation of these plants, and any food products derived from them, will still need to be authorised in accordance with the existing rules.
Director of The John Innes Centre, Professor Dale Sanders FRS said: "At the John Innes Centre we use gene editing to understand and develop crops which are more nutritious and resilient to climate change and diseases. Gene editing is a powerful technique that will play a critical role in helping us address the global challenges of climate change and food security while at the same time ensuring biodiversity.
Gene editing provides an opportunity to revolutionise our food systems. However to benefit fully, we have to address the way we regulate this technology. Defra's announcement today is step in the right direction, that will allow researchers to run more field trials of gene-edited crops. I am therefore pleased to see the Government acting to bring these changes in."
To make the most of these discoveries, we need to translate our science to benefits for consumers by making products available on supermarket shelves. I look forward to working with Defra as it continues its wider review of regulations around genetic technologies. Getting this right will be essential if we are to fully benefit from this innovative technology."
The legislation follows the launch of the Government's response to the gene editing consultation last year. It is the first step towards adopting a more scientific and proportionate approach to the regulation of genetic technologies, which will allow us to further unlock innovation using these technologies.
Chief Scientific Adviser, Professor Gideon Henderson, said: "Gene editing is a powerful tool that will help us make plant breeding more efficient and precise by mimicking natural processes that currently take many years to complete.
"With the new rules now formally in place, scientists will be able to assess new crops in real-world conditions more easily. This will increase our ability to harness the potential of gene editing to efficiently help grow plants that are more nutritious, beneficial to the environment, more resilient to climate change, and resistant to disease and pests."
Harnessing the genetic resources that nature has provided through genetic technologies will create new opportunities for farmers to grow more resilient crops. This will support the development of new and innovative ways to protect the environment, such as significantly reducing, or eliminating the use of pesticides and herbicides – protecting pollinators. Another potential benefit includes making crops more resilient to climate change.
For example, John Innes Centre researchers used gene-editing techniques to explain how a key gene in wheat called ZIP4 has such a profound effect on seed production, and how it can now be deployed to increase the efficiency of introduction of traits with increased resilience to climate change into wheat.
"Our research priority is now to identify variations of the ZIP4 gene which maintain fertility under different temperature regimes. We aim to identify variants of the gene with effects that give wheat yield resilience to climate change," said Professor Graham Moore, who led the study.
Minister for Agri-Innovation and Climate Adaptation Jo Churchill said: "New genetic technologies could help us tackle some of the biggest challenges of our age – around food security, climate change and biodiversity loss.
"Now we have the freedom and opportunity to foster innovation, to improve the environment and help us grow plants that are stronger and more resilient to climate change. I am grateful to the farming and environmental groups that have helped us shape our approach, and I look forward to seeing what we can achieve."

How Did Camp Lejeune's Water Get Contaminated?
Written by: Virginia Beach Injury Law
Understanding What Happened to the Water at Camp Lejeune
As early as 1982, it was discovered that the water at the U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina was contaminated with toxic chemicals. Many of the chemicals have been linked to an increased risk of cancer. Individuals stationed at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987, might be entitled to compensation for their injuries.
At Virginia Beach Injury Law, we represent individuals and families who have suffered unimaginable harm after ingesting the toxic water at Camp Lejeune. Founder and managing attorney Ron Kramer II is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps. He understands the unique challenges that current and former service members face.
If you were diagnosed with an adverse health condition such as cancer or Parkinson's disease after being stationed at Camp Lejeune, contact our office at (757) 802-4662 to schedule a free consultation.
How Did the Water Become Contaminated?
According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), two of the eight water treatment plants that provided drinking water on the U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune were contaminated with dangerous chemicals. The contamination was caused by several different factors.
What Was the Source of the Contamination?
The source of the contamination for the first (Tarawa Terrace water treatment plant) was an off-base dry cleaning business. It is believed that the dry cleaner's waste disposal practices caused the chemical PCE (perchloroethylene or tetrachloroethylene) to be released into the water at the treatment plant.
TCE (trichloroethylene) was found in the second water treatment plant (Hadnot Point). Several potential sources of the contamination were discovered including:
Leaking underground storage tanks
Industrial area spills
Waste disposal sites
In addition to TCE, other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were found in the second water treatment plant such as PCE, benzene, and TCE degradation products.
When Was the Contamination Discovered?
The contamination was discovered in the early 1980s. Studies show that the government knew about the contamination as early as 1982, but that the water treatment plants remained operational until at least 1985. In the case of the Tarawa Terrace water treatment plant, the "most contaminated wells" were not shut down until February 1985, as noted by the ATSDR.
What Chemicals Were Found in the Water?
Specific volatile organic compounds were found in samples from the water at Camp Lejeune. These VOCs have been linked to an increased risk of cancer, Parkinson's disease, Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, female infertility, and birth defects.
VOCs discovered in the water at Camp Lejeune:
PCE (perchloroethylene or tetrachloroethylene)
TCE (trichloroethylene)
Trans-1,2-DCE (t-1,2-dichloroethylene)
Vinyl chloride
It is believed that up to one million people were affected by the toxic water at Camp Lejeune. Individuals stationed at the base between 1953 and 1987 for at least 30 days are encouraged to discuss their case with a Camp Lejeune claims attorney.

Today we are interviewing LORD TOPH, author of "The Girl Who Cannot Sneeze."
I am an artist, composer, producer, and a writer. I have written many volumes of poetry, as well as works in short story and novel length. Creative writing is a big passion of mine, I must admit.
Well… The story is about a young girl named Icha, that lives on a peaceful little island called, Kimp Pu. Icha is a perfectly happy and normal young girl, but she is not too pleased to know that she can't sneeze. So, with the help of her aunt and friends, she begins an experimental mission to make herself sneeze. In the process, Icha and her friends learn a few valuable lessons they'll carry with them throughout life.
Whenever I think of children's stories with morals and important fundamentals, I think of the conscious parents that still want to teach courtesy, good manners, and etiquette, and work hard to pass it down to their children. So, perhaps the caring and conscious parent(s) that still loves to teach and read to their children… That's who I feel would most appreciate this book.
What inspired you to write a story about a girl's inability to sneeze resulting in rich discoveries and experiences?
(Smiling) Well… actually and quite ironically – The story was inspired by a dear friend of mine that sneezes all the time. And humorously, each time she begins to sneeze… there is a slowww prelude of "icha… ichaa… ichaaaahh," before the sneezing finale. This is where the main character in the book, Icha, gets her name from. One day I thought, "What if she (my friend) just stopped sneezing altogether… how relieved and happy would she be?" The irony of her not being able to sneeze is what gave me the idea for the story.
Tell us a bit about the protagonist, Icha.
Aha… Icha. She's a kind sweet-spirited young girl, who lives with her aunt. Icha is quite responsible and mature for her age. Though she is soft-spoken, she is somewhat of a quiet leader among her peers.
The story is set on the small island of Kimp Pu. Was this island inspired by places you've been?
(Chuckling) I'd like to say it was… but in all honesty, no. Classic stories like "Robinson Crusoe," "Treasure Island," "Peter Pan," etc. have always fascinated me with the setting of an island. So I thought an island would be the perfect place for Icha to grow up.
Humor is a big part of the book. Has humor always been a part of your writing or is it something that developed recently?
Yes, I would say that many instances in the book are humorous, but there are those endearing moments as well. Humor, I feel, is an essential component to incorporate in children's literature. Everyone should have a laugh – especially children.
Icha, of course! However it was fun creating, Mrs. Mei Lu… She's a gas!
I've been illustrating from the time I could actually hold a pencil or a pen. It's been a long time… too long to tell (smile).
What did you hope to accomplish with the illustrations in the book?
I hoped the illustrations in this book would give young readers/listeners more visual insight on Icha, Kimp Pu, and the occurrences in the story.
Can you tell us a bit about the creative process of the book, from the initial idea to writing/illustrating to the published book?
I'm usually isolated during the creative process of creating a story – Head down, looking at drafts of scribblings on paper, or eyes on the screen of my pc… drinking Earl Grey, lots and lots of Earl Grey!
I suppose there is always that moment or two where every author pauses in the midst of literary mindset and says, "Now, huh? What?!?" It's always those little moments that make you feel a bit apprehensive, but you work your way through.
How do you hope readers are impacted by reading "The Girl Who Could Not Sneeze"?
Happy… fulfilled… and perhaps they'll want to read it again and share it with someone else.
Ahhh… you'll have to visit StarField Stories to find that out (smiling). But, I'll give you a bit of a hint. It's a picture book, and it should be released this summer.
Saying this not as an author, but someone who merely enjoys a good story… It's a heart-warming tale that I personally will cherish.
"Hey, wait a minute! I haven't heard you sneeze one time today. In fact Icha… now that I think of it… I don't think I have ever heard you sneeze!"

De Aweti zijn leden van een Indiaanse stam die wonen in het Parque Indígena do Xingu in Mato Grosso, Brazilië. De Aweti bewonen twee dorpen in de regio. Het belangrijkste dorp Tazu'jyretam heeft een kleine haven en wordt al zeker bewoond sinds de 19de eeuw. Beide dorpen liggen in een gebied tussen de rivieren Curisevo en Tuatuarí, die beiden met de Kuluene uitmonden in de Xingu. De Aweti zijn vissers, jagers en boeren die hoofdzakelijk mais en maniok verbouwen.

Naam
De Aweti zijn ook gekend als Arauine, Arauite, Aueti, Aueto, Auiti, Awatti, Awetö, Awytyza, Anumaniá, Auetö, of Enumaniá.

Geschiedenis
Waarschijnlijk zijn de Aweti gevormd uit verschillende stammen die zich vestigden in de Xingu-regio rond de 17de of 18de eeuw. Het was pas laat in de 19de eeuw dat Europese ontdekkingsreizigers (voornamelijk uit Duitsland) de stammen in deze regio op kaart zetten. Hoewel er de volgende decennia weinig contacten waren tussen de inheemse bevolking en de Europese kolonisten waren de korte expedities van de ontdekkingsreizigers in de jungle voldoende om ziekten te introduceren in de gemeenschap van de Aweti en hun buren waarvoor ze geen immuniteit bezaten. De griep was in vele gevallen dodelijk en rond 1950 waren er amper 23 overlevenden. Desondanks zijn de Aweti niet uitgestorven of samengegaan met andere stammen zoals sommigen van hun buren.

Wanneer het Parque Indígena do Xingu werd opgericht in 1961 was de Awetibevolking aanzienlijk hersteld. Dit was het resultaat van grotendeels betere medische zorg die aangeboden werd door de Braziliaanse overheid aan de stammen in de regio. Het contact met de buitenwereld nam eveneens toe, wat echter een bedreiging is voor de eigen taal en cultuur van de Aweti.

Cultuur
De dorpen zijn gebouwd met meerdere hutten rondom een centraal plein, dat wordt gebruikt voor rituelen, zoals begrafenisrituelen. Dit is kenmerkend voor dorpen in het gebied rond de bovenloop van de Xingurivier. Een "mannenhut" is ook centraal gelegen in het dorp en wordt gebruikt voor het houden van rituelen die niet mogen gezien worden door vrouwen.

Het dorpshoofd (beslist door erfelijkheid), leidt de Awetidorpelingen en dient als diplomaat met betrekking tot de andere bevolkingsgroepen uit de regio. Momenteel is de leider van de Aweti een man genaamd Yalakumin.

Intertribale handel en rituelen onder de stammen in de regio komt vaak voor. De Aweti verhandelen onder andere plantaardige zouten en hangmatten gemaakt van de burití palmboom. De Huka-huka worstelwedstrijd is een populaire intertribale sport. Veel stamleden uit de verschillende etnische groepen kiezen voor echtgenoten of echtgenotes uit andere stammen.

Taal
De Aweti-taal maakt deel uit van de tupi taalfamilie maar is uniek en onderscheidend van de andere gelijkaardige talen. Door de contacten met de buitenwereld spreken een aantal leden van de stam ook Portugees, de hoofdtaal van Brazilië. Kinderen worden opgevoed in het Portugees op de "tribale school van Aweti". In het nieuwe dorp spreken veel mensen, vooral jongere personen, Kamayurá beter dan Aweti. Alle mensen in het nieuwe dorp spreken minstens één andere taal dan Aweti.

Cyprien Revel (* 21. Juni 1805 in La Neuveville; † 24. August 1886 ebenda) war ein Schweizer Politiker und Richter. Von 1848 bis 1851 und 1854 bis 1869 gehörte er dem Nationalrat an, in den Jahren 1846 bis 1850 war er Regierungsrat des Kantons Bern.

Biografie
Revels Familie stammte ursprünglich aus den Waldensertälern im Piemont, sein Vater war Besitzer eines Pensionats. An der Universität Bern studierte Revel zunächst Geisteswissenschaften, danach Recht in Paris. Das Mitglied der Zofingia präsidierte ab 1838 das Amtsgericht des Amtsbezirks La Neuveville. 1842 gründete er in Courtelary ein Waisenhaus. Revel vertrat radikalliberale Ansichten und wurde 1843 in den Grossen Rat des Kantons Bern gewählt. Im Jahr 1846 gehörte er der verfassungsgebenden Versammlung an und war als französischsprachiger Sekretär massgeblich an der Ausarbeitung einer neuen Kantonsverfassung beteiligt.

1846 folgte Revels Wahl in den Berner Regierungsrat. Vier Jahre später verlor er sein Regierungsmandat, als die Konservativen die Mehrheit errangen. Hingegen zog er wieder in den Grossen Rat ein, dem er bis 1866 angehörte. Revel kandidierte im Oktober 1848 bei den ersten Nationalratswahlen und wurde im Wahlkreis Jura gewählt. Drei Jahre später wurde er abgewählt, doch bei den Nationalratswahlen 1857 errang er seinen Sitz wieder. In der Folge gelang ihm weitere drei Male die Wiederwahl, bis er schliesslich 1869 zurücktrat. Revel setzte sich für den Eisenbahnbau im Jura ein und verfasste auch mehrere Abhandlungen über die lokale Geschichte.

Remembering Shaheed Benazir Bhutto on her 68th birthday
by Web Desk June 21, 2021
Today marks the 68th birth anniversary of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan.
تمام جمہوریت پسندوں کو دنیا میں جمہوری پاکستان کی پہچان، علامتِ وفاقِ پاکستان شہید محترمہ بینظیر بھٹو کا یوم پیدائش مبارک ہو۔#HappyBirthdaySMBB pic.twitter.com/hkBQPc7Bdw
— PPP (@MediaCellPPP) June 21, 2021
Benazir was daughter of a prominent politician and former prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. She was born on 21st June 1953 at Pinto's Nursing Home in Karachi.
She was the first female Prime Minister of Pakistan who ruled from 1988 to 1990 and again from 1993 to 1996. She was the first woman to head a democratic government in a Muslim majority nation.

I was up before dawn. I threw my camera bag over my shoulder and trekked down our little mountain road. I was in search of the kind of beauty that is only found in the early morning hours. My walk covered at least five miles, but I didn't mind. The early bird gets the worm and the early photographer finds an ally in the soft light of daybreak.

Vintage Chess Video - Chicago Coffee House Chess Talents!
We found this very nice vintage collection of portraits put up as a chess video collage by Matthias Pfau. We don't have the details and would appreciate if someone sent us all the names. However, enjoy the video. Do you play chess in Chicago?
All of the players depicted in the video are amateurs and only two of them received any chess related media coverage in the past. They are the recently deceased Ron Washington, and Tom Murhpy. The fact that all of them are real characters caught in a contemplative moment makes the images work. Their chess qualifications don't matter for the purpose of the video. They hang out in Chicago at the North Ave beach and a Starbucks nearby. My sole intent was to capture the mood of the venues and people that is all. Thanks for noticing the video.

The setting is an industrial area, off one of central Japan's main highways that lead up to mountains and ski resorts. Picture an old warehouse, with steam billowing out from a wall-mounted stack.
Though the exterior may be beaten and worn by weather and time, it hides what waits inside. Modern sliding glass doors open up to a bright and open space that one cannot immediately digest — to the right is a fully stocked bar, yet in front are a tables that suggest a café. Look towards the back and there are numerous display cases. Beyond these, however, is a collection of vintage scooters, and, from time to time, a classic Lotus or other rare sports car.
Wait . . . is this a garage for drunks?
Don't pass judgement yet. Instead follow your nose and your eyes will be led to an open kitchen with enormous stainless steel pots boiling over with rich soup stock and noodles.
You're at T.T. Ramen. One of Japan's largest collections of scooter swag. As well as a damn fine noodle shop.
TT Ramen was the result of a local scooterist who had a passion for both vintage scooters and great, homemade ramen noodles.
For the equivalent of $7, one can fill up on this juicy delight, served in rich stock that you slurp to the last drop. Add Chinese dumplings or fried rice and you will be glad you came by scooter as you will be too full to walk. T.T. has become one of the favorite destinations for the local Midland Flyers SC, but also for scooterists making a special trip from Tokyo, Osaka and places beyond.
One warning – it is not an easy place to get to, even if one is already in Japan!
"Come by scooter" and leisurely slurp away as you delight in this relaxing atmosphere, surrounded by endless swag.
"Kawaii!" means "Cute!" in Japanese and if anyone is the best at doing cute, it would have to be the Japanese. These stickers can be had for $6.50 and minimal shipping. And who can resist little scooter riding cartoons encouraging you "Happy Ride!!" and "GO! GO! Through the wind!!" ???
Thanks to Kristen M. who sent me this photo from her travels in Kyoto, Japan. It's from a temple's giftshop and is a charm to ward off bad things happening to scooterists!
We've featured several scooteresque Tokidoki items in the past (search "Tokidoki" in the search window to the right). This new t-shirt is $28.00.
Thanks to Nikki D. for this cool find!

Actress Emma Watson attends the "Beauty And The Beast" New York screening at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center on March 13, 2017 in New York City.
Much of the recent run-up to Friday's premier of the live-action rendering of Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" centers on the "nice, exclusively gay moment" reportedly featuring villain Gaston's sidekick, LeFou.
Credit Disney with refusing to censor the still-unseen scene – mere word of which prompted hand wringing from Malaysia to Russia to Alabama.
The flap hasn't stopped the flick from racking up record advance ticket sales for a family film. That's appropriate: The original 1991 "Beauty and the Beast," despite the title of its signature production number, succeeded most in making generations of fans feel more like family than mere guests.
The tension surrounding the opening of the film isn't highest over the groundbreaking revelation about LeFou, but whether, amid huge expectations, the tale as old as time will as play well the second time around.
Or, in other words: The live-action version of "Beauty and the Beast" will put Disney's service to the test like no other film since the debut of the studio's first full-length animated musical, "Snow White," nearly 80 years ago.
The two films – toss-ups for the greatest Disney animated musicals of all – opened new worlds for the genre, raising hand-drawn motion pictures to new heights of sophistication during their respective eras. The appeal of both movies transcends age and years.
For decades, "Snow White" found new audiences in theatrical re-releases every few years until the early 1990s. "Beauty and the Beast" arrived in time for the home video revolution, heading to VHS less than a year after its cinematic debut and sending its reign as a classic into fast-forward.
The youngest original fans, now pushing 30, came of age in an era of CGI filmmaking epitomized by the success of the "Harry Potter" movie series, featuring Emma Watson, who plays Belle in the "B&B" reboot.
She's not known – yet – for her musical chops. But Watson, more than any other actress, grew up before our eyes in movies where she couldn't see much of the magic unfolding around her.
The magic of "Beauty and the Beast" isn't in the human characters as much as the household objects in the Beast's lair – Chip, Mrs. Potts, Cogsworth and the rest. But can Lumiere and Co. possibly shine as bright in a live-action-special-effects mash-up?
Disney is asking fans, as Belle was asked, to take a chance on the unknown – and risk crushing disappointment if the new film doesn't live up to the ingrained memories of the not-so-old original. We'll soon see, once again, whether beauty is found within.

To make it possible, we had to do the impossible – we assembled over 700 sq.m (7300 sq.ft) climbing surface in less than 3 days.
24 technicians were called in from all over Europe for the fastest installation in the history of Walltopia and indoor climbing. Of course, it did not all go as planned. Fortunately, with a maximum effort and even tighter schedule, all 4 climbing walls were ready 10 minutes before Midnight on September 13th.
Over 20,000 spectators in the Arena and thousands more online watched as the new World Champions make their way up the 2 beautiful boulders, lead wall and speed wall. It was one of the biggest events for the last few seasons and proved that climbing really deserves its spot in the Olympic programme for Tokyo 2020.
It was a great opportunity for us to challenge ourselves once again, to overcome the fictional limitations of probability and call one less thing 'impossible'. Follow the link below to see the video from the fastest installation in the history of the climbing wall industry.

Demolition Imminent for 11 Essex Street as 11-Story Micro-Unit Development Looms
Posted on: August 28th, 2019 at 5:00 am	by Staff
A Lower East Side tenement with a controversial history is coming down. The city issued the demolition permit for 11 Essex Street back in June, paving the way for redevelopment into micro-unit housing.
The sidewalk bridge in place is further visual evidence.
As previously reported, real estate scion Sion Misrahi parted with the neglected property in August of 2017 for $11.4 million, sixteen years after his acquisition and subsequent liquidation of the predominantly low-income tenants. The new owner (11 Essex Realty LLC) is now underway on an eleven-story replacement "catering to young professionals," in its own words. It'll sport thirteen one-bedroom and three two-bedroom micro-units, plus a full-floor Penthouse.
TRA Studio is the architect of record for 11 Essex, and describes the project as such:
This slender 120' tall mixed use building, located on a shallow lot in the lower East Side , houses thirteen one bedroom micro-units apartments, ranging from approximately 500 sf and three two bedroom full-floor Penthouse units, catering to young professionals.
The disciplined flow of spaces makes the apartments feel bigger and extremely comfortable. Each unit has ample closets and a private laundry are, amenities include rooftop recreation space, a 16' high Lobby and a bike storage area.
Meanwhile, there are no proposals or permits yet submitted to Department of Buildings.

Border Patrol's use of deadly force criticized in report
Posted on February 27, 2014 by mexika.org in Immigration, News & Current Events, Politics, The Continuing War Against Timazewaltin, White Nationalism // 0 Comments
By Brian BennettFebruary 27, 2014, 3:00 a.m.
WASHINGTON — Border Patrol agents have deliberately stepped in the path of cars apparently to justify shooting at the drivers and have fired in frustration at people throwing rocks from the Mexican side of the border, according to an independent review of 67 cases that resulted in 19 deaths.
The report by law enforcement experts criticized the Border Patrol for "lack of diligence" in investigating U.S. agents who had fired their weapons. It also said it was unclear whether the agency "consistently and thoroughly reviews" use-of-deadly-force incidents.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which had commissioned the review, has tried to prevent the scathing 21-page report from coming to light.
House and Senate oversight committees requested copies last fall but received only a summary that omitted the most controversial findings — that some border agents stood in front of moving vehicles as a pretext to open fire and that agents could have moved away from rock throwers instead of shooting at them.
The Times obtained the full report and the agency's internal response, which runs 23 pages. The response rejects the two major recommendations: barring border agents from shooting at vehicles unless its occupants are trying to kill them, and barring agents from shooting people who throw things that can't cause serious physical injury.
The response, marked "Law Enforcement Sensitive," states that a ban on shooting at rock throwers "could create a more dangerous environment" because many agents operate "in rural or desolate areas, often alone, where concealment, cover and egress is not an option."
If drug smugglers knew border agents were not allowed to shoot at their vehicles, it argues, more drivers would try to run over agents.
The new secretary of Homeland Security, Jeh Johnson, is "reconsidering the response" to the two recommendations, a Homeland Security official said Wednesday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.
Mexican authorities have complained for years that U.S. border agents who kill Mexicans are rarely disciplined and that the results of investigations are not made public for years. Critics warn that more deaths or abuses are inevitable unless stricter rules are imposed to limit use of lethal force.
"There needs to be a level of accountability if you want to change the culture and the pattern," said Christopher Wilson, an expert on U.S.-Mexico relations at the Woodrow Wilson Center, a think tank in Washington. "People are being killed that don't need to be killed."
The review was completed in February 2013 by the Police Executive Research Forum, a nonprofit research and policy organization in Washington that works closely with law enforcement agencies. Experts from the group were allowed to examine internal Border Patrol case files on 67 shooting incidents from January 2010 to October 2012.
The authors said evidence in the case files suggested border agents in some cases stood in the road to shoot at drivers who were trying to avoid arrest and who posed no direct lethal threat to them or others.
"It is suspected that in many vehicle shooting cases, the subject driver was attempting to flee from the agents who intentionally put themselves into the exit path of the vehicle, thereby exposing themselves to additional risk and creating justification for the use of deadly force," the report reads. In some cases, "passengers were struck by agents' gunfire."
"It should be recognized that a half-ounce (200-grain) bullet is unlikely to stop a 4,000-pound moving vehicle, and if the driver … is disabled by a bullet, the vehicle will become a totally unguided threat," it says. "Obviously, shooting at a moving vehicle can pose a risk to bystanders including other agents."
The authors recommended training agents "to get out of the way… as opposed to intentionally assuming a position in the path of such vehicles."
They also recommended that the Border Patrol adopt police policies used in most U.S. jurisdictions, which bar officers from firing at a moving vehicle unless deadly force is being used "by means other than a moving vehicle."
Border Patrol officials defended the use-of-force policies, arguing that agents needed broad flexibility to protect themselves and the nation's borders.
"In a lot of cases, Border Patrol agents find themselves in an area where they don't have communications, they don't have immediate backup and often don't have the cover and concealment that urban areas provide when you are dealing with an escalation of force," Border Patrol Chief Michael J. Fisher said in a telephone interview.
Shawn P. Moran, vice president of the Border Patrol union, said the agency was right to reject restrictions on when agents can shoot.
If smugglers "know we aren't allowed to defend ourselves, we would see many more rock attacks …[and] assaults where vehicles try to run down agents because they would know there would be no repercussions," Moran said from San Diego.
The Border Patrol has begun testing "less lethal" weapons — such as pepper spray, rubber bullets and Tasers — and added training on violent confrontations for new agents. Officials also now track shootings and rock-throwing incidents in a database intended to help leaders spot trends and adjust policy.
A Homeland Security Office of Inspector General report in September found that border agents opened fire on rock throwers 22 times in fiscal year 2012. It did not say how many people were injured by the "rock assaults" or by the gunfire.
In recent congressional hearings, some lawmakers criticized Customs and Border Protection officials for not fully disclosing when border agents are allowed to use deadly force, and what disciplinary actions, if any, had been taken.
"When a young person throws a rock across the border toward the border or border agents, some agents respond with a gun and other agents don't respond at all. There seems to be some need for some consistency in the response to these incidents and how we treat it," Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) said at a Jan. 15 confirmation hearing for Gil Kerlikowske, the Obama administration's nominee to head Customs and Border Protection.
Kerlikowske, a former Seattle police chief, said he had never served in a law enforcement agency that did not make its use-of-force policies public. He promised to release more information if he is confirmed. His nomination has not yet been brought up for a vote in the Senate.
The internal report does not detail specific shooting incidents. But news accounts have highlighted several deaths.
In the most recent case, a border agent fatally shot Jesus Flores Cruz, 41, on Feb. 18 in a mountainous area east of San Diego after the agent was allegedly hit in the head with a rock. Mexico's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it was "deeply concerned" about the incident.
In September 2012, Guillermo Arevalo Pedroza, a 36-year-old construction worker, was shot and killed during a picnic with his family on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande. A Border Patrol agent who fired his gun from a patrol boat said he had been pelted with rocks, officials said.
Mexican authorities denounced the shooting as "unacceptable" and said Pedroza was not trying to cross the border.
A month later, Jose Antonio Elena Rodriguez, 16, was shot and killed near Nogales, Mexico, by a Border Patrol agent who fired through a fence. The autopsy report said Rodriguez was shot eight times in the back. The Border Patrol said the agent, whom it did not identify, was hit with rocks when he responded to reports of drug smugglers climbing the border fence.
"I believe it was excessive use of force," Luis Parra, a lawyer for the slain teenager's family, said in a telephone interview from Nogales, Ariz.
Parra said that the FBI had interviewed witnesses and that Mexican prosecutors were in discussions with Justice Department lawyers to give the FBI the bullets that hit Rodriguez, as well as his clothes and emergency dispatch recordings from the shooting. An FBI spokesman said the investigation was ongoing.
"The family continues to seek justice," Parra said.
