The Basilica of Saint Mary of Coro (, ) is a baroque Roman Catholic parish church and minor basilica completed in 1774. It is located in the "Parte Vieja" (Old Town) of the city of San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Spain.

Interior
The main nave consists of a large space of  divided into three naves, which in turn can be divided into 4 zones having as axis the pillars of the nave. Six pillars and the walls with pillars act as a buttress supporting the vaults. The octagonal pillars reach, up to their capitals, a height of .  The central dome is  high. At the end of the nave, on the right side, different rooms are used by the parish and other services: daily chapel, sacristy  and storage rooms.

I really enjoyed this book Gail and I totally think it would work for high school age teens. Plus - Martin is working on a sequel!
I'm reviewing it in my July column - I think it rocked.
I wondered if he was working on a sequel because there were a couple of story lines that were left dangling in a very intentional way.
I just finished reading this and I loved it! I enjoyed "Good Fairies of New York" and I thought that "Lonely Werewolf Girl" has the same kind of humor and compulsive readability, but it has much more YA appeal than "Good Fairies." I'm going to recommend it to the teens in the Wands and Worlds community - I think some of them will love it. I've started noticing some of them talking about interest in werewolves lately; maybe werewolves are the new vampires?

Report: Chelsea interested in signing PSG forward Lavezzi
By | FoxSports
PARIS, FRANCE - DECEMBER 16: Ezequiel Lavezzi of PSG looks on during the French League Cup (Coupe de la Ligue) match between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and AS Saint-Etienne (ASSE) at Parc des Princes stadium on December 16, 2015 in Paris, France. (Photo by Jean Catuffe/Getty Images)
Chelsea are interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain forward Ezequiel Lavezzi, according to Sky in Italy.
The 30-year-old Argentina international sees his contract at the French champions expire in the summer.
Sky in Italy understand the player's agent, Alejandro Mazzoni, is in London today and could meet representatives from Chelsea, who are one of the options available to him.
They also understand he has offers in Italy, including Inter Milan, who have taken concrete steps to sign him.
Lavezzi began his career as a youth with the renowned Rosario Central in Argentina.
His first professional deal was with Estudiantes before a three-year spell with San Lorenzo, followed by a transfer to Napoli in 2007.
Lavezzi, who has 48 caps for Argentina and was part of their squad that made the World Cup final in 2014, moved to PSG in in 2012 and has made over 100 appearances for the club, scoring 22 Ligue 1 goals.

Exoplanet Program
Program Manager's Update
Some Have Asked: What Is ExEP?
By Gary Blackwood
ExEP is the Exoplanet Exploration Program, one of three programmatic themes within the Astrophysics Division at NASA (the others are Cosmic Origins and Physics of the Cosmos). ExEP is chartered to support the 2011 NASA Strategic Plan goal 2.4 to "Discover how the universe works, explore how it began and evolved, and search for Earth-like planets." Further, ExEP is chartered to address science area objectives from the 2010 Science Mission Directorate Science Plan including planetary system formation, generation of a census of extrasolar planets, and a measurement of their properties. Personally I find this to be a powerful, compelling purpose for our work!
The Program Office for ExEP is located at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and reports to NASA Headquarters, Science Mission Directorate, Astrophysics Division (APD). Our HQ Program Executive is Dr. Anthony Carro, and our HQ Program Scientist is Dr. Douglas Hudgins.
ExEP is responsible for the success of all projects and tasks within its assigned charter:
The Kepler Project, managed by NASA's Ames Research Center. The purpose of Kepler includes the determination of eta-sub-earth, the frequency of occurrence of Earth-sized planets around solar-type stars. Kepler has collected just over four years of exoplanet survey data but the Project has thoroughly analyzed only two years of data.
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI), managed by the University of Arizona. LBTI will survey 50 nearby solar-type systems to measure the amount of exozodiacal dust, a parameter important to the design of future direct-imaging telescopes sensitive to terrestrial planets.
The Astrophysics Focused Telescopes Assets (AFTA) Study, managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. The current concept of WFIRST will perform direct detection of giant planets orbiting our nearest neighboring stars, a microlensing survey of planets beyond the snow line to complete the census that Kepler started, dark energy science with large-area spectroscopic and imaging surveys and monitoring of supernovae, and a wide-field, wide-band infrared survey of the universe at exquisite sensitivity. The next AFTA mission concept report will be delivered to NASA Astrophysics Division (APD) in January 2015.
The NASA Exoplanet Science Institute (NExScI), managed by the California Institute of Technology. NExScI manages the Sagan Fellowship program, the observing time allocation for the NASA time on the W. M. Keck Observatory Telescopes, and performs exoplanet science that includes the community follow-up program for the Kepler candidates.
Exoplanet Probe Studies. The Probe-Scale Study Office at JPL will produce two design reference missions for the recently-formed Science and Technology Definition Teams, or STDTs, for the internal occulter (coronagraph) and external occulter (starshade-telescope system). The probe mission concept reports will be delivered to NASA APD in January 2015 as potential backups to AFTA, to guide technology investments in the latter half of this decade, and to possibly be considered in the next decadal survey.
Program Technology, managed by JPL. This office is responsible for advancing high-contrast imaging technologies through experimental demonstration and model validation for both internal and external occulters.
Program Public Engagement, managed by JPL. The Public Engagement team provides outreach through this newsletter, the program website, Twitter, Facebook, Eyes on Exoplanets visualization, and support to the program's projects, and other national events and programs such as the Night Sky Network.
A Program Office managed by JPL includes the Program Chief Scientist, Program Chief Engineer, Mission Manager, and Missions Scientists.
In future Newsletters, we'll bring you a closer look at how individuals in each of these program elements are engaged every day in advancing the science of exoplanets and furthering the search for signs of life in the universe - an ExEP-tional purpose, indeed.


A Saskatchewan employer must pay 24 and 20 months' notice, respectively, to two employees it fired for charging expenses for a business trip the employer believed was for personal reasons, because the trip was authorized by the employees' supervisor and they had no reason to believe it wasn't legitimate.
Brian Swidrovich, 62, was the director of business development for the main arena facility in Saskatoon, Sask., that was initially called Saskatchewan Place when it was constructed in 1988. William Antonishyn, 69, was the director of ticketing and business projects for the facility, which was run by the Saskatchewan Place Association (SPA), a non-profit corporation governed by up to 10 board members including Saskatoon's mayor, city council members, and several members of the public. The SPA was focussed on managing the business and affairs of the facility, while the day-to-day operation was handled by an executive director and a management team that included Swidrovich and Antonishyn.
Swidrovich's role as director of business development involved the marketing of building and event sponsorships and long-term bookings of the corporate suites in the arena. He had to develop and maintain professional relationships with other businesses and sponsors with an eye to increasing revenue and profit for the facility and the SPA through event creation. Swidrovich began employment with the SPA in 1994 as an event co-ordinator, and his job evolved over the years into the director of business development. He also gained the title of director of an air show the facility was involved in and was managing director of two sponsored events held there.

Book Review | Dreams Deferred: A Concise Guide to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
by Luke Akehurst
Cary Nelson, Indiana University Press 2016, pp. 400
Luke Akehurst
I tried to read Dreams Deferred in the conventional style, cover to cover. Bad idea. The book isn't best read like that. Reading it cover-to-cover you can get a bit disorientated by changes of writing style and constant reiteration of similar points, and jumping from topic to topic as they are set out in alphabetical order.
That's because it is intended to be read more like an encyclopedia or manual, and when tackled like that it works. It's a series of short essays, each between four and ten pages or so in length, and each tackling a different aspect of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement, and the ideology, rival narratives and analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that sit behind it and the arguments against it.
It actually owes its structure to the way a website is set out, with different essays cross-pointing to linked subject areas and further reading, and this is reflected in the simultaneous launch of a website called Israel and the Academy, which includes a wide range of additional supporting materials.
If you read the book by dipping into it and starting with the essay that most interests you, then following the recommended additional reading at the end of the essay, it works remarkably well. (1980s kids who grew up playing 'Fighting Fantasy' novels structured along the lines of 'to go into the dungeon turn to page 26, to fight the Orc, go to page 100' will be at home with the format.)
This also makes the book work from a practical, campaigning point of view. You could read the whole thing and gain a good grounding in every aspect of the extensive set of arguments. Or, if you are a student union activist hurriedly prepping for a debate on a motion condemning 'pinkwashing,' for instance, you can just dip in and read that specific four page essay.
Cary Nelson has managed to persuade a stellar cast of 25 academically credible writers to contribute essays. Most of the people who are seriously thinking about the intellectual case against BDS and anti-Zionism are in on this project. The quality of the prose is great and so is the level of historical and contemporary knowledge of Israel displayed therein.
The book manages to be both rigorous enough to stand up to academic scrutiny and punchy and polemical enough to be of practical use to campaigners. This is important given that it is clearly aimed at campus audiences, which is one of the key arenas in the battle over BDS in both the UK and the US. I sense that it would be equally useful as a primer for students and a thought-provoker for academics.
Particularly useful is the way the book interrogates and debunks key concepts that sit behind the anti-Zionist ideology, rather than shying away from them. It gets right into the anti-Zionist's side of the chess board and takes the debate deep into their territory. A good example is Nelson's own essay (including a chunk of material from Ilan Troen) on 'Settler Colonialism,' which takes a really effective swipe at the application of this concept to Israel.
All the key concepts that one might encounter in this debate are here, from the Nakba to the apartheid smear to proportionality in asymmetric warfare to Holocaust Inversion. It's quite an achievement to tackle such a wide range of topics, each of which could easily fill a short book.
The overall tone is a progressive Zionist one, with constant references to the need for the two-state solution and emphasis of the rights of the Palestinians. This is appropriate as the debate about BDS is primarily one waged between rival sets of progressives within progressive civil society institutions.
My one criticism would be that the book feels very much a product of its milieu – North American campus life. Even though there are contributions from a few British academics like David Hirsch and Fathom's Alan Johnson, the overall balance and style are very American and inevitably get bogged down in concepts like intersectionality, which are central to radical campus debate but lack traction in wider society. Similarly it feels like it is written from a perspective where campus is the crucial battleground over BDS, whereas I would see it as just one civil society battleground alongside others like trade unions, political parties, churches, local government and the arts and culture. So for instance, an obscure US academic network, the American Anthropological Association, gets an eight page essay, whilst the entire phenomenon of BDS in trade unions (or as the book calls them 'organised labour') gets five pages, with just half a page covering BDS in non-US unions, and with the UK National Union of Students (NUS) conflated into the couple of sentences about trade unions (NUS isn't one trade union, it's a confederation of campus student unions). Cultural boycotts get four pages. BDS in the churches and all the associated theological debate gets seven.
I suppose it is inevitable that academics will give disproportionate weight to what they encounter and can directly react to day-to-day among their colleagues and their students on campus, and I understand that campus is disproportionately important as it is the incubator for changes in ideas and ideology and the place where future political leaders develop their ideas. But it worries me that this creates an 'ivory tower' approach and means there is less being studied and written about BDS and delegitimisation in other spheres that are less easy for academics to study first hand. I fear that some of those arenas and bodies can have far more impact on Israel's reputation. For instance in the UK, it is distressing for Jewish students and their parents if NUS has a BDS policy, but its impact on wider public life is low as most British citizens expect students to take bizarrely radical stances on foreign policy (they have been since at least the 1930s), whereas if the Methodist Church, or the Unite trade union, or Leicester City Council, pass BDS policies, then these are large, serious organisations with reach into wider UK society, who help propagate the concept of BDS and legitimise delegitimisation of Israel among sections of the UK public far beyond the radical left.
With this caveat – and maybe it's my problem and I need to write a book about BDS in these areas of British society – I recommend Dreams Deferred. It will make a fine addition to the bookshelf of any progressive opponent of BDS, and will become a well-thumbed one, as there are plenty of essays here that will be regularly referred to whilst this pernicious debate rumbles on.

My life has been greatly enhanced by Dr. Leroy Dorminy. He became the man in my life who encompassed many virtues. He was the real deal. He lived the Scriptures and his actions spoke as loud as the words he used when telling you about his relationship with Christ and challenging you to have a deeper faith.
I met Dr. Dorminy in the early 1980's at a Christian Veterinary Mission booth at a conference. Shortly after that meeting I received a phone call from him and we continued to talk often, and eventually weekly, for many years as prayer partners.
God gifted him with the ability to remember names and sell a vision. On many of the calls he would be telling me about an idea that was on his heart for CVM and before we finished the conversation I would be volunteering to help. I am sure most people reading this had the same experience with him. He was well connected with the working of the Holy Spirit!
Dr. Dorminy and I spent a considerable amount of time traveling to make presentations at Endowment Dinners during the five years I was Chairman of CVM's Endowment Committee. It was always an amazing experience to observe the intensity on people's faces as he spoke at a fundraiser meeting or student Real Life Real Impact. God used him in a mighty, yet humble way, to change hearts for His Kingdom.
One fond memory I have of him was when Dr. Coalson Lacy had set up an Endowment Dinner for my wife, Judy, and I in Springfield, MO. Dr. Dorminy and his wife, Kathryn, drove from Ocilla, GA to Collierville, TN to spend the day and night with us before we traveled together to Springfield the next day.
A new restaurant had just opened and we thought it would be the perfect place for lunch. Judy, Kathryn and I ordered chicken salad. Dr. Dorminy, sticking to his strict, self-controlled diet, ordered the tuna salad. We went to bed early because of the six-hour drive the next day through the winding mountain roads of north Arkansas and southern Missouri.
Kathryn woke us up early the next morning to tell us that the good doctor had food poisoning and had been in the bathroom most of the night. He looked as bad as any walking sick person I had ever seen, but he was determined that we were going to attend the meeting. He would not eat or drink anything, but he laid back in the van seat and endured the trip, while continuing to refuse crackers and Sprite from Kathryn. When the time came for him to speak at the meeting, he stood up and gave his normal eloquent presentation as if he was perfectly well.
Dr. Leroy Dorminy was selfless, loving and God honoring. He obediently put his own ambitions aside to follow Christ's call on his life. He was a humble veterinarian from Ocilla, caring for the animals of Irwin County during the prime earning years of practice, when God clearly called him through the words of an African woman.
When the woman was asked "How can we, Christians in the developed world, help you, in the developing countries?" her response was "Come and teach us your skills so that we may do things for ourselves." With that statement God pierced Dr. Dorminy's heart and Christian Veterinary Mission began.
I know each person cherishes every memory they have of Dr. Dorminy. I will always treasure that he chose me to be his friend and prayer partner and mentored me by the Fruit of the Spirit. For that I am eternally grateful. I can't wait to see my friend again on the other side.

There are only three days left of Open Field, and I am sure that the events to come are going to be quite memorable. Nevertheless, as the curtains draw to a close on our cultural commons, we are all becomming a bit nostalgic about our favorite Open Field events. It was incredibly difficult to choose, but let me share with you my top ten.
1. On the rainy First Free Saturday in June, Roma di Luna managed to make tons of small children fill up the cinema and dance around, proving that live music conquers inclement weather.
2. Every Thursday, several small, but valiant LARPers come. I interviewed them, and you can watch it above!
3. Chromatic summer was always a lively forum to express your innermost feelings about colors. Certain colors became controversial, nostalgic, frustrating, or inspiring.
4. Open Exposure brought hundreds of people to the field to check out local teen talent. There was a field full of sun tents, umbrellas, and plaid!
5. The National Poetry Slam Preview was the perfect send-off for our triumphant Twin Cities poetry slam winners. I was not completely sure what a poetry slam entails, and now I know it is equal parts literary magazine, rapping, and Monty Python.
6. Commons Census' aim was to bring together people from the Open Field to discuss what a commons should be, or specifically, what an institution/creative commons should be. I found that despite all of our theorizing this summer, it can be challenging and exciting for two people to try to agree on what they could share together. Can we share ideas, property, medicine, or specialized knowledge for free?
7. On the 2nd to hottest day of the summer, a series of Pac Men ran down the Open Field hill faster than I could document it.
8. On the very hottest day of the summer, Red76 set their Anywhere/Anyplace Academy afloat on the Lake of the Isles. It was a day of exhaustion, intellectual discourse, and ultimate triumph. Every hand-crafted re-purposed raft not only floated, but held people above water!
9. Sam Wainwright Douglas' film on Sam Mockbee, Citizen Architect: Sam Mockbee and the Spirit of the Rural Studio, inspired all audience members. Preceding Red76's Surplus Seminar, the film brought up timely questions of waste, surplus (materials and knowledge!), and grassroots education.
10. Every week Drawing Club brought artists, families, and passersby together to create communal drawings. Tomorrow is their finale: an exposition of the final Drawing Club works and a celebratory thank you for all participants.
The next three days on the Open Field are going to be quite exciting. There is something for everybody, Open Field regulars and curious passersby alike.

THe Last Sentry at the Gate 1
certainty is that nothing is certain and nothing is unchallengeable. The lesson of the last twelve months and the last decade is that we must be able to adapt to change. We must be flexible in our outlook to business and we must be ready for the bugler's call to action. We must be prepared to seize the opportunities as they are presented to us. In Australia, I believe we must move decisively to expand our exports. If we move decisively, our factories and our farms increase their sales to the richest and fastest growing markets in Asia. Our exports will increase, our balance of payments position will improve and we will have forged across the Pacific and Indian oceans trading partnerships with the vast resources of Asia and the Middle East. To achieve all these things for Australia, to properly take its place in the world, for its people and graduates of this university to be properly placed in businesses that are internationally competitive, I would say that the number one domestic issue in Australia today is education. But education is to no avail if there are no jobs to go to. It is true that Australia must improve its education; must improve the quality of its universities. What concerns me today more than anything else is the statistic that there will be one million young boys and girls in this continent coming into the labour market in the next ten years who have not even graduated from high school. Where are they going to find jobs? Which union or business will employ them? One million of them. The best schools, the best teachers and the best books are of no avail if there are no jobs. Out of work university graduates cost just as much as an out of work school dropout. The family beset by unemployment that cannot send their children to university or support itself may even encourage children to finish high school prematurely and enter the workforce. A student, a dropout or a university graduate who can't find work or a job in an expanding economy really creates a lot of social problems that we all have to address. Education is the key to growth in this country. We must educate our children and our people as our most valuable resource. We must make it possible for those with talent to go to university, but only if those who are educated can find a job. Finding a job, at the end of the day, is what really matters to contribute to our society. That's why our ability to compete internationally and to export our exports is so important. We have to stand up there with other nations and be competitive. 'There are few earthly things more beautiful than a university', wrote John Mansfield in his tribute to English universities, and his words are equally true here. He did not refer to the spires or the ivory towers, to the campus greens and to the vice-chancellors. He admired the splendid beauty of a university because he said it was 'a place'. A place where those who hate ignorance may strive to know. Where those who perceive truth may strive to make others see. In the coming weeks and months, all of you will strive to know and all of you will perceive the truth, and strive to make others see as I have been trying to do in the media. Your leadership is very important, because in the final analysis it's truth that really matters. That's the most important thing the community needs to hear from its academic staff, from our scientists across this nation. We don't want to avoid our problems, we want to face them. While in Australia we feel very isolated from the world as I know it in Europe and the United States, the world has not really escaped from the global financial crisis or from the darkness that still envelops a lot of the things that are happening in Greece and right across the board. But we meet here today in an atmosphere of rising hope, in a moment of competitive calm. I have confidence in the future of this country and confidence in Australia playing an increasing role in the world economy, based on the real needs of the world, rather than the perceived needs, and all that Australia has to offer in the coming years for the growth in Asia.

Dog's Teeth and Dental Health - Hot Shot Dog Grooming | Houston, TX.
Yes, dogs need their teeth brushed too! Keep up with your pet's dental health and reduce the risk of dental disease, infection, bad breath, and potential life threatening kidney and heart disease. You and your dog will enjoy each others company even more with less fear of health problems and more fresh breath kisses for years to come!
Maintaining your dog's teeth and overall dental health is just as important as your own! Many pet owners don't realize their pets even need their teeth brushed at all. Ideally, you should brush your dog's teeth every day or at least twice weekly to help eliminate the daily accumulation of plaque. If left untreated, buildup will affect your pet's teeth just as it would your own. Periodontal disease, or gum disease, infection, pain, and loss of teeth are only a few of the most common problems associated with bad dental health. Also, like you need a regular professional teeth cleaning, your dog will need to see a vet for a deep professional dog teeth cleaning if the plaque buildup gets too bad. This type of deep cleaning is a rough scraping of your dog's teeth while they are under sedation.
When selecting dental products for your dog, look for an enzymatic toothpaste and a long-handled toothbrush with an angled head and extra soft bristles or a finger brush. Enzymatic is the best choice in dog toothpaste because the enzymes continue to help breakdown plaque even after brushing! Always avoid toothpastes with baking soda and detergents found in some human toothpastes.
Some dogs are not too happy to have their teeth brushed. Others have never had it done. Of course, the younger your pet is when you start their dental regimen, the more comfortable they will be with the process. If your have never brushed your dog's teeth, here are some simple tips to help you and your baby get used to it: Approach your pet gently and start with a washcloth or small, damp rag. Slowly rub along the teeth and gum line as you would with a regular toothbrush. Continue this process consistently twice a day for two weeks and you will notice your pet is much more willing to take part. The next step is to try the toothbrush. Run the brush under warm water and then brush the teeth gently. Again, consistency is key. After another two weeks of this, you can introduce the toothpaste and enjoy your dog's healthy, fresh breath kisses! Of course, we would be happy to provide you with our own professional dog teeth cleaning if you would prefer to take care of your dog's teeth brushing during the grooming or bathing process.
At Hot Shot Dog Grooming in Houston, we strive to keep all our furry, four legged friends healthy and happy in every way. We always promote only the best, healthiest products and practices for our babies and yours. The best way to keep your pet healthy in every aspect of their lives starts at the core with the kind of food you feed your dog. Maintaining your dog's teeth and overall dental health is no different. Natural, raw foods and treats will help your dog's coat, skin, teeth and more. The food actually helps clean your dog's teeth! Some treats out there like bully sticks and certain bones are also great at scraping away extra plaque buildup while giving your dog something fun and healthy to chew on. For more information on these items, visit our Nutrition and Truth about Dog Treats pages.


A train's whistle sounds in the dead of night. Snow falls on deserted tracks. Somewhere, in the city, a woman prepares to leave on a journey that will change her life. Somewhere, in the country, a man drives to his final destination. Witness The Charnel House Trilogy, the chronicle of one fateful night aboard a train bound for Augur Peak. Three thrilling, horrifying adventure games in one, from the depths of the Sepulchre, starring Madeleine Roux, Peter Willington, Jonathan Grier, Jim Sterling, and Ben Chandler as Grub. With art by Ivan Ulyanov and Ben Chandler, and music by Jack de Quidt, nervous_testpilot and Bryan Henderson.


In this series, Riley battles vampires, werewolves and all things that go bump in the night. But this isn't your typical paranormal romance-spy series. Arthur laces surprises with suduction with each book to keep readers hooked and asking for more.
The good/bad news is Moon Sworn is the last book in the series. Good, because I can't wait to see how things turn out for Riley -- she's been through so much. Bad because, I don't really want her story to end. But word has it, Arthur is working on a spin-off series for one of the characters in this series. No spoiler's here - you'll have to read the series to find out "who" but ---I know it will be just as exciting!
So if you haven't picked up a Riley Jenson book yet, do it now. You won't be disappointed!
I agree this is an awesome series!
So sad to hear it's ending soon!
This looks like a great series-and I love the idea of Book Sunday Series!

Doors will open, not just for the UK. Only tourists from eight countries were barred from traveling to Portugal Govit-19
Portugal will reopen to tourists from the United Kingdom this Monday, authorizing non-essential travel for travelers from Portugal to Foro Airport alone, "17 flights equivalent to 5500 seats". The majority are countries. And the reopening of the country to tourists will not be limited to flights: as of Monday, the ports will be able to get ships back. However, there are countries that prevent tourists from continuing to travel to Portugal due to the epidemic situation.
After Portugal provides the "green light" for the arrival of British tourists, the government will send and send Resolution of the Committee of Ministers Published This Friday night, "Countries that are part of the EU, countries affiliated with the Schengen area (Liechtenstein, Norway, Iceland and Switzerland) and the United Kingdom" can make "all kinds of trips" to Portugal.
The report re-authorizes the shipwreck and landing in Portugal, an intervention that has been in effect since March 14, 2020. A statement from the Ministry of Home Affairs said, "Airborne operations in Port of Port and the crew disembark at major ports in Portugal."
The exceptions to these accreditations, which take effect at midnight on Monday, will be countries with the highest incidence rates of 500 cases per 100,000 people over the past 14 days or more, according to the European Centers for Disease Control (ECTC). This means conditioning travel for residents of eight countries, As per sending: Cyprus, Croatia, Lithuania, Netherlands and Sweden, on a European basis, South Africa, Brazil and India.
From these countries, only people traveling in Portugal can enter for essential reasons (work, study, family reunions, health or humanitarian reasons) and are obliged to complete a 14-day, isolated period of 14 days at home or at a specified location. One of the Interior Ministry reports sent this Saturday was by Portuguese officials.

"The regulatory measures apply to aviation and to land, landing and licensing of passengers and crew at national ports in the continental region," Lusa said in a statement. This means that, in practice, for more than a year, passengers and cruises from some countries will return to the ports of the continent.
In recognized countries, tourists wishing to travel to Portugal by air must present proof of laboratory test (RT-PCR) for Covit-19, with a negative result, carried out within 72 hours of departure. The same should be true for ship passengers.
As of Monday, airlines are obliged to allow boarding only for passengers who present this document, and a passenger boarding without proof will be fined between 500 and 2,000 euros.
This decision of the Committee of Ministers applies "between 00:00 on 20 May 1721 and 23:59 on 30 May 2021",
Portugal awaited the EU's decision to lift restrictions on the United Kingdom
The Secretary of State for Tourism said on Saturday that Portugal's decision to authorize non-essential travel from the United Kingdom as of Monday was in coordination with the European Commission and expected the decision of 27 people on Wednesday.
"Yes, we actually have the presidency of the Council of Europe, so we talked very openly with the Commission [Europeia]. So, we partly expected what would happen to the EU. I think May 19 will be a decision in favor of the United Kingdom, "Rita Marx told the BBC.
According to the official, "You have a high probability [Reino Unido] It should be on the EU 'green list' as of May 19, so we expect this decision of the Portuguese government to be an EU decision in a way. " With Lusa

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is defined as the unexpected death of a previously healthy infant younger than 1-years-old. It peaks as a concern in infants 2 to 4 months old, with many of these deaths happening at bedtime or naptime. More than 3,500 babies in the U.S. die each year unexpectedly while sleeping, from either SIDS or accidental deaths from suffocation or strangulation.
Thinking about SIDS can be scary, but it's important that new families and caregivers know how to keep babies' safe during sleep.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advises that parents sleep in the same room as their child, but not in the same bed until the child is at least 6 months old. Don't bed-share – it's one of the most common causes of death in babies younger than 3 months old. You may have instincts to want to hold your baby and be as close to them as possible, but they should be in their own crib, bassinet or play yard that follows the safety standards of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Babies should always be placed on their backs to sleep at nighttime and for naps until they reach 1-years-old. They should be placed on a firm sleep surface.
The Safe to Sleep campaign has been urging parents to place babies on their backs at bedtime since the 1990s, yet a new study found that only 44% of U.S. mothers surveyed reported that they both intend to and always put their babies to sleep on their backs. The study found that while mothers intended to place babies on their backs, they did not always follow through. Mothers mainly cited fear that the baby might choke and that it's less comfortable than having them sleep on their stomachs. Since public awareness efforts began, the overall U.S. SIDS rate has dropped about 60%. This lower rate equals thousands of babies' lives. Since then, the number of babies placed on their backs to sleep has tripled.
Keep the stuffed animals, pillows, comforters, bumper pads and quilts out of your baby's sleep area. Soft surfaces such as a pillow or comforter can potentially block an infant's airway and lead to suffocation. Fitted sheets should be used for the same reason, with no extra blankets.
Babies should sleep in light clothing free of any strings, ties or fabric that covers the head. If you're worried about your baby being cold, there are blanket sleepers made for infants to help keep them warm without covering their head or face.
Looking for a health system that you can trust for all of your child's needs? Nemours Children's Health System is dedicated to helping children grow up healthy.

Another link up for story characters! Again, I'm focusing on the main character of my current book I'm writing called Silent Thoughts. The second draft of this story is almost finished, with over 22,000 words so far!!!!!!!!!!!!
Visit the PaperFury blog to join the link up.
To stop what happened to himself in his childhood from happening again. Though this desire is almost secret to even himself ( Taylor ).
2. What is the best and brightest moment they experience during the story? When He finds out what he's actually meant to do, and gives up his whole life for a better, scarier adventure. Taylor learns that sometimes it takes a while to realize what you actually want can be different than what you think you want.
3. What are the emotional places your characters are afraid to go to? Themselves. The past. The future. Sometimes it is just easier living now and forgetting what happened and what may happen.
Scarf. I also got to teach a few other girl's to knit, which was really fun!! Cherish, one of the girls and also a really good friend, took on real quick and made a bunch of things.
And the friend I made it for.
A really good friend, Callie, showed me arm knitting.

100% spelt sugar free cinnamon rolls. Icing ( not shown ) was made from cream-cheese and fruit sweetened jam.
Amish. A word that says a lot.
A culture. A religion. A way of life. And even a cult according to some.
This people holds more fascination over people than probably any other in the 21st century. Maybe it's because they look like they belong to the 1800's.
The thing is most people know absolutely nothing about the Amish. That's right. Nothing. All those books and movies out there portray a false image of Amish.
So much that some people that shouldn't, get mistaken for Amish.
One such man is named Lawrence Miller.
He knows a lot about the Amish. And even has the same mutual fascination for them as most people.
Only difference is he actually knows them.
That's why he isn't one of them.
Still, being an Amish man can have its ups. And it is rather awesome.
So, pretending to be Amish is what he does. And he fools just about everyone.


Qmee 2019 Review - Real Cash or An Unsafe Scam?
→Qmee 2019 Review-Real Cash or An Unsafe Scam?
Qmee 2019 Review-Real Cash or An Unsafe Scam?
Hi there! Thanks for clicking on my Qmee review!
Chances are you want to learn more info about Qmee, you want to know if it actually can help you earn extra cash or not!
Well, let me tell you in advance that Qmee is not a scam but is it the best place to earn cash? I don't think so!
If you want to learn more info about how Qmee actually works you want to read this full review!
Summary: Qmee is an app and a browser extension which will allow you to save money and earn some little cash searching the web. In this review, I will share with you tricks and tips to make the most out of it and some alternatives that are a lot better.
Recommended? Yes, if you want to earn some extra tiny cash searching the web.
How Much Can you Earn with Qmee?
How Does Qmee Pay you?
Best Qmee Searches,Cheats, Tips & Hacks!
Is Qmee Worth Your Time?
My 3 Qmee Best Alternatives!
Qmee is a browser extension and a mobile application where you can earn some little money doing some simple tasks like shopping & taking online surveys.
Qmee was launched in 2012 by Jonathan Knight and Nick Sutton.
While Qmee won't make you tons of money it's a good way to save and earn some little money without putting in any extra effort.
However, I have heard some complaints about it regarding your privacy when using the browser extension. I'm going to shed more light on this in this review.
With that said, I don't think a lot of people question the legitimacy of this app.
But there are some burning questions that many people have.
Is Qmee a real app that is worth your time?
Is it safe to use their mobile app or browser extension?
These are just some of the questions I'll go through in this review!
Once you install it it will work like your online shopping companion, as you search the web it will show you targeted and related products to buy.
You will also find coupons which will help you save some money.
Qmee also has a mobile app for both IOS & Android devices. Just a few years ago Qmee had no phone app, in fact, you can still read some reviews online saying that they don't have an app.
The Qmee app is 100% free.
I'm going to give you more details on that below!
You can get paid to search the web by installing the browser extension I have talked about before.
The browser extension only works on Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome if you want to earn money with Qmee and you use a different browser than the ones mentioned above you will need to download and install one of the supported browsers.
The Qmee browser extension allows you to track what you're doing and also helps Qmee show you targeted ads that you actually want to click on.
You can earn money with Qmee searching but only when you are searching using the following search engines and websites.
Let's say you use a browser that is different than Google and Bing and shop from a website that is not listed above you're NOT going to earn any rewards.
When you search using the Qmee extension you will notice a sidebar with products of the participating websites mentioned above.
Anytime that you search and click the ads of the sites associated with Qmee you will earn cash.
You can also earn searching the web using the Qmee app.
Another way to earn with Qmee is taking surveys, but I have to admit that the Qmee surveys are the worse surveys I have ever seen.
The pay is miserable & you get disqualified all the time.
Maybe the surveys are terrible because of my demographics I don't know if you live in the US or UK. I have tried the Qmee surveys make sure you let us know your experience with them!
I have read some reviews online that say the surveys are pretty fun and short and if you take 4 to 6 surveys you might earn some considerable extra cash.
But I can't comment on that because my personal experience with the Qmee surveys is terrible I was even kicked out from many surveys when I answered no to some questions.
For example, I was asked if I have kids I answered no and immediately were told that I'm no match, this actually happened many times as I was trying out their surveys.
However, what I liked is whenever I was disqualified from a survey I was rewarded with a few cents for the time I put on the survey.
Yeah I know it's not much but there are surveys I know where you could spend half an hour on a survey only to be told you're out and they don't even give you a reward for it!
Are the Qmee surveys worth it?
I'd say it depends on your demographics! Later in this review, I'll share with you the countries where Qmee is available.
Qmee is not a cashback shopping website like Shop smarter or Trunited but you can also earn some cash when clicking on their ads or by using their coupons to save money when shopping.
After you install the Qmee browser extension or the mobile app you will be seeing coupons on the left side of your screen.
These coupons will allow you to save up to 40% when you do your shopping from the Qmee partner sites.
Qmee does not pay you to shop, you will earn cents when you search for the products you want to buy and by clicking the ads. But you do save money thanks to the coupons.
This is the best way to earn some usable cash at Qmee, you can earn some extra cash by referring people to use Qmee.
There are no limits to how many people you can refer, the more referrals you have the more you can earn.
Each person you refer that cashes out their first earnings you will get $1.
If you want to earn with Qmee decently without wasting time and effort I recommend you to focus on referring people.
My #1 Recommendation Training will teach how to get tons of referrals from Google by building a website that promotes Qmee. This is an amazing way to build a solid income online.
With Qmee you can't expect to earn a decent income because you're not doing any efforts at all, you're earning some little cash for doing something you have been doing for free your whole life.
After doing some intense research it looks like the average Qmee member earns around $5 per month which is nothing impressive.
The average earnings are $5 per month because most members can't refer many people to join Qmee. If you do you will be looking at some $100's monthly payments or even more if you refer a lot of people.
Below I will give you details on how much you can earn by searching, clicking ads and taking surveys.
How Much Can You Earn Searching & Clicking Ads?
By searching the web Qmee will give you from $0.3 to $1 per search or per ad you click.
How much you earn also depends on where you live and what type of searches you do, yeah there are some types of searches that pay more 🙂 I will share some of them by the end of this review.
And obviously the more you search the more you will earn, you don't want to get crazy about it otherwise you will be banned or you will start seeing fewer ads.
Tired of Pennies? Want to Earn Real Money Online?
How Much You Earn Per Qmee Survey?
As I said before my experience with the Qmee surveys is not good. But people from the countries supported by Qmee claim that you can earn $0.30 to $1.50 per survey.
However, the disqualification rate is pretty high and there aren't so many surveys but the good thing is the surveys are NOT so long as most of them are 3 to 10 minutes long.
Again how much you earn per survey is greatly affected by your demographics.
With that said, Qmee is not going to make you rich, the earnings are a bit miserable but if you invite people to Qmee you will drastically increase your earnings.
You can request a payment via Paypal, there is no minimum cashout limit. I have seen many people withdraw cents from their Qmee account.
You can also give out your earnings to a charity if you wish to.
The most important thing is Qmee is legitimate and it pays, there are so many members online that have posted their Qmee payment proof!
I'm happy to say that there aren't many negative reviews about Qmee as most reviews found online are positive.
However just like anything in life Qmee is not perfect and there are some problems, concerns, and complaints that come with it.
There are many people that try to use VPNs and fake addresses to hack the app and get access to it even if they live outside the countries mentioned above.
I would not recommend you to do that because you will be banned immediately when you get caught.
With that said, Qmee is about to expand their site to other countries soon.
Looking for A Reliable Income Source?
I have read many complaints from people who say that they have been doing Qmee searches that resulted in no ads.
If you use Qmee to make money searching the web but there are no ads showing up then you're not going to earn anything.
The ads will show up only when you do some particular searches, you need to be searching about products especially products related to the companies that are Qmee partners.
Another very common Qmee complain is about how slow it is to earn with Qmee, well, as noted earlier in this review by searching the web you're not doing anything special that's why the earnings will reflect that.
Each search (with ads) will earn you a few cents, the surveys pay is miserable too but it is what it is that's how surveys work and you can't expect to earn decent money searching the web.
4- Privacy Concerns - Is Qmee Trustworthy & Safe?
Qmee is 100% trustworthy & safe and they are pretty clear about it, they have a page on their blog where they promise you the top privacy.
However, there are many people concerned about their privacy with this site because they are afraid of the browser extension.
I also hate those browsers extensions you install that will change your browser default search engine and start showing you annoying ads everywhere!
Only God knows how I hate those!
Fortunately, that's not the case with Qmee, the latter does track some of your info but they do that because they want to show you targeted ads.
At the end of the day even Google and Facebook are tracking us every day. What I like about Qmee is they are 100% clear about any tracking they do.
Most referral and affiliate programs will continue to pay you as long as your referral is active.
But unfortunately, that's not the case with Qmee because their referral program is pretty limited.
If you refer a person you will earn $1 when they cashout, they could cashout 2 cents or $100 you will always earn $1 after they cashout.
And that's pretty much it, all you can earn from each referral is $1, that's not very good enough.
There are many better affiliate and referral programs to promote that pay a lot better! We all know it's not easy to build referrals so a good paying referral program should be your #1 priority.
Qmee is 100% free & Legimate.
You earn money doing what you usually do for free.
You can save money as well.
Qmee tracks your online searches.
Only available in a few countries.
Best Qmee Searches, Cheats, Tips & Hacks!
Below I'm going to share with you some nice cheats/hacks and tips you can use to make the most out of Qmee!
These tricks I'm going to share with you are genuine tricks that are going to make you earn MORE money from Qmee the smart way that's it!
With that out of the way, let's check out these best Qmee tricks & cheats to earn more!
When you click on ads you will earn some cents but remember after you click an ad you want to stay on the ad page for at least 30 seconds.
When you click on an ad and stick for at least 30 seconds it tells Qmee that you were genuinely interested in the ad.
If you keep doing this you will see ads more often which will increase your earnings.
Tip #2 Don't Perform Spam Searches!
If you think you can earn more money by doing tons of searches per day you're wrong, Qmee has a team that is tracking members and making sure no one is trying to fool the system.
If you start doing spammy searches or click ads multiple times, you will start seeing less ads which will decrease your earnings.
Your best bet is to do genuine searches so you can keep the Qmee ads coming.
Cheat #3 Don't Forget the Hot Surveys!
While I'm not a fan of the Qmee surveys I have to admit that there are some surveys that are worth it.
I'm talking about surveys that are 3 minutes long and pay at least $1.
I'm a big fan of such surveys.
To be able to see these surveys you want to make use of the hot surveys notification feature on the Qmee app.
You can enable the app to send you push notifications about new surveys, once you set it up keep an eye out the surveys that are short and pay well.
This is the best method, in my opinion, to increase your earnings doing surveys without wasting time and effort on low paying surveys that are everywhere in Qmee.
I noticed many people talk about the best Qmee searches that pay in 2019, below I'm going to share with you what kind of searches will result in more earnings for you!
Product related searches (especially Amazon!): Product related searches will have a lot of ads in the search results that's why it's a good idea to use Qmee when you're looking for a product to buy. I also see members talking about Amazon searching and how it's one of the most profitable things to search on.
Electronics searches: electronic ads pay the most money that's why it's a good idea to search for stuff like IPhones or ipods using Qmee, according to members you can earn around $0.10 per search related to electronics.
Qmee is NOT a scam, it's a legitimate site that is going to make you some little extra cash. It's 100% free, safe and trustworthy!
Well, Qmee is not that type of site where you have to do some specific tasks to earn money, here you earn money searching the web which is something you already do.
But it still may waste a lot of your time, for example, I see many people looking for the best searches to put on Qmee, the best hacks or when you take surveys these things do waste your time.
I don't recommend to spend all your time with Qmee because at this point it's not worth it unless you're focusing on their referral program because there you can earn some good extra cash.
Me personally I'd never use Qmee to search the web, for me it's not worth it, I don't want to spend time looking for the best searches to type.
If you're looking for some Qmee alternatives that pay more I would recommend you to check out my top recommended reward sites below.
I hope you have found this review useful!
Thanks for the insightful review of Qmee! Nice to hear from you that Qmee is not a scam, though not a good place to earn. Thanks for making me know that it's an app & a browser extension. I was initially thinking that it's an online business community where I could build a website or blog. It's interesting to know that one can earn $0.3-$1 per search and up to $1 per referral.
I would have loved to promote their program but maybe it would be difficult to get people who will be serious with the money making system for me to qualify for referral earnings. What discouraged me further about promoting Qmee now is the limited referral program.
Yeah, it's a bummer that they have such a limited affiliate program!
Hi Anis! Qmee seems a good way to add a little extra cash by doing thing we already do online. I'm glad I read your comprehensive review. And am calm knowing it's a legit site. I like you can get paid via PayPal and that there is no minimum cashout limit. I'll also consider your warning: Qmee can become a total waste of time the very moment we start to do surveys or do research about the best searches to put on Qmee. I'll also take a look at these alternatives you have mentioned: Swagbucks, Inboxdollars and Yougov. Thank you very much!
I'm glad you liked the review Henry!
Thanks for making a review on this website it is a cool way to make little cash as said in your article by taking surveys and making Search online but this site surely won't make you enough money as expected and also this site allows few countries which in my opinion isn't good enough should have done better and not recommend by me.
Yeah Seun Qmee is not meant to make much money and it can be a total waste of time.
This is a great Post! I like the idea that Qmee has so many ways to earn. It is sad that they don't offer international support yet. I like that they pay to PayPal or they give you gift cards. I think that the surveys sounds quite good because even if you screen out you get a few cents. In other surveys I have done they don't do the same.
I also like that is is compatible with the main browsers. Even if you don't make a lot of money I think that it will add up over time.
Yes, Renton, I agree with you, you can install Qmee on your browser and search the web normally like you always do and you might earn an extra $150 per year which is not bad for doing nothing.
Thank you for reporting on this new way to make some money online. Please clarify for me if I must buy something after clicking on an ad,or if I would be paid just if I click on an ad and stay on the ad for at least 30 seconds like you recommend. I assume that the app owners get paid by the advertisers for every click they generate.One concern that I have is that since I would have to give my personal information to get the app, can I expect to receive a lot of spam as a result ? The same concern applies to surveys.I tried some surveys in the past but invariably I became the target of multiple business solicitations.I agree with you that there are more efficient ways to make money online.I personally have found the training at Wealthy Affiliate to be a very good way to learn the business of affiliate marketing which could lead to reliable earnings if you put the effort.Thanks for the review.I found it useful.
Hi Carlos, Qmee is not a cashback site you don't have to buy anything, all you have to do is click the ad and wait for 30 seconds to make it look legit.
Regarding your personal information, I can assure you that it's safe with Qmee, the latter on their blog say that you should never give too much info to the surveys you take within the platform if a survey asks for too much info you need to exit it, take a screenshot and report it to Qmee.
Yeah, the Wealthy Affiliate training is what I highly recommend to newbies that want to build a real income from home! I give all my success credits to it!
Thanks for your comment Carlos.
Thank you for this honest and unbiased review, I find it really helpful. Thou am always cautious of venturing into all this online schemes, but your review has provided great insight into this. I will soon download the qmee app and check how things goes. I will be back on this page for more reviews.
Thanks, Clement don't forget to let us posted about your Qmee experience it will help many people here!
Thank you for sharing with us this great review on Qmee.There are many apps which help people earn money through taking surveys but the payment is very disastrous but I found Qmee as paying high even if the disqualification rate is high too.
I would like to earn money through Qmee the problem is that I do not live in those mentioned countries.
Yes, it's a bummer it's not available worldwide but soon they will expand to more countries!
Yeah lots of people would love to join Qmee if they were available worldwide, thanks for the input!


The monthly website traffic feature is usually called info transfer or bandwidth as well, however all of the abovementioned names refer to the very same thing - what amount of info can be transferred to and from your shared hosting account. The web site traffic can be produced in just two ways, the more apparent one being site visits. When someone goes to your web site, their Internet browser requests and downloads the web pages from the hosting server then shows them on their end. The more site visitors you have, the more outbound traffic is produced from your hosting account. Due to the fact that this characteristic includes the whole site traffic, not just the site visits, you shouldn't forget that incoming traffic is measured too. Which means that website content along with other files that you upload to the account through a file manager or an FTP application are counted towards your account quota. The transfer is generally checked monthly and the counter resets on the very first day of each and every month regardless of your actual registration date.
We have selected the features of our shared hosting packagesin such a way, so as to help the development of any website hosted on our cutting-edge cloud platform. The traffic that your account can generate makes no exception, as a result with a web hosting plan through our company, you won't have to worry about the amount of content being transferred to and from your account any time. You'll be able to host a lot of small-scale and medium-sized sites and ensure that the monthly traffic allowance won't be a setback for their growth. In addition, we supply you with detailed monthly, daily and hourly stats that will give you more details about the traffic that a given website generates or what kind of page/file is being downloaded the most and produces most of the traffic. This type of information can help you plan the administration of your sites and your marketing strategies better.
Since our Linux semi-dedicated hosting are quite effective, we've decided not to put any type of restriction for the monthly website traffic that a given account can produce. It is our understanding that if you acquire a web hosting plan that includes a lot of computing power, your websites will most likely have lots of visitors and given that every visitor generates some traffic, you may end up getting inaccessible websites if there is some cap for this particular characteristic. With truly unlimited traffic, you will be sure this won't happen. For your convenience, you can keep track of the content being downloaded in addition to the site traffic that is generated for each individual domain with monthly, daily and hourly numbers that will inform you on how popular your websites are. You'll be able to even see particular pages and files which have produced the most traffic in the semi-dedicated account.
The Linux VPS hosting that we provide have a monthly traffic allowance proportionate to the system resources they come with. The more hdd storage and computing power a server provides, the more probable it is you will host more sites on it, for that reason the traffic you're able to use raises with every package. Should you need more traffic at some point, you'll be able to upgrade the package from your billing Control Panel with just a couple of mouse-clicks and the extra system resources, including the higher traffic allowance, will be added to your account. You will also be to view what amount of info has been transferred to and from your virtual server any time. To be on the safe side, we'll notify you as early as you reach 90% of the allowance so as to provide you with sufficient time to take action and decrease the site traffic or upgrade your package if needed. In your control panel, you can see the traffic stats for every domain or subdomain in your VPS account.
Considering how powerful all of our Linux dedicated web hosting are, the data transfer that you'll have every single month will be sufficient for any type of site regardless of the number of its visitors, even if you supply image or file hosting. You'll get an allowance of terabytes of traffic each and every month and due to the fact that you won't share the server with others, that quota will be available only for your websites and web apps. We will contact you the moment you get to 90% of your quota so you can react and either optimize your web sites to reduce the website traffic they make, or extend the limit. It is highly unlikely that you'll ever require more than what we'll give you, yet we won't stop the development of your sites, that's why we leave the option to include extra website traffic open. The dedicated server packages include an administration panel where you can see the amount of website traffic has been generated so far for the current month and the amount that is left until you get to the cap. Considering that these figures contain software setups and updates, they're more accurate compared to various hosting Control Panel statistics that include just the site traffic generated by web sites.

Home News Ttp Faction Denies Links To Islamic State After Quetta Terrorist Attack
TTP faction denies links to Islamic State after Quetta terrorist attack
Both Jamaat-ur-Ahrar and Islamic State had claimed responsibility for Quetta's Civil Hospital's bombing. PHOTO: AFP
ISLAMABAD: A breakaway faction of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) that claimed responsibility for the bombing of a hospital last week said on Tuesday it had no links with Islamic State, whose leadership also said it was behind the attack.
Jamaat-ur-Ahrar, which briefly declared allegiance to Islamic State in 2014, said in an audio statement that its fight was solely against the Pakistani state and that linking it to trans-national militant networks was wrong.
"We want to make it clear that our movement has no connection to Daesh or al Qaeda," the group's leader, Omar Khalid Khorasani said, using the Arabic acronym "Daesh" to refer to Islamic State.
"Those in Daesh or al Qaeda or any other mujahideen movement are our Muslim brothers. But we do not have any organisational link with any of them. With Daesh and al Qaeda we have never had an organisational link before, and even today we have no organisational link with them," Khorasani said.
Quetta weeps again
Jamaat-ur-Ahrar claimed responsibility within hours for the suicide bomb in the southwestern city of Quetta that killed more than 70 people, most of them lawyers, on Aug. 8. Later, Islamic State, based in Iraq and Syria, also claimed responsibility.
That heightened fears that IS had gained a firmer foothold in Pakistan, a country of 190 million people where a myriad of local militant outfits exist with the means of launching major attacks.
Jamaat-ur-Ahrar, behind a series of bombings including in a public park in Lahore in March, has never specifically disavowed Islamic State before. Khorasani made no mention of the Quetta bombing in the audio message released on Tuesday.
The group, designated a "global terrorist" group by the United States earlier this month, emerged in 2014 after Khorasani, the Pakistani Taliban commander in the Mohmand tribal area, broke off to form his own organisation.
Islamic State faces uphill 'branding war' in Afghanistan, Pakistan
In the statement, Khorasani said his group had no intention of fighting to install Islamic law beyond Pakistan. He also said that there were no Islamic State fighters present in the areas where his fighters were operating, largely along the lawless border with Afghanistan in Pakistani tribal areas.
Islamic State has been trying to expand its presence in Afghanistan and Pakistan as its territory shrinks in Syria and Iraq but faces competition from local militants.
Security officials and analysts say that Islamic State remains – for now – more of a "brand name" in South Asia than a cohesive militant force in much of the region.

Democrats' Spending Bill Grants Millions to Left-Wing Organizations, Institutions
Joseph Lord, The Epoch Times | Dec 8, 2022 | News | 6
Proposals for Democrats' omnibus spending bill to fund the government through 2023 would grant millions to left-wing organizations and institutions.
Every year, Congress must pass legislation to set spending levels. Failure to do so can result in a government shutdown, an outcome that costs the economy millions.
To avert shutdowns, lawmakers have two options: pass a so-called "continuing resolution," (CR), which carries over spending levels set out in the previous year's spending package, or to pass a new omnibus spending package.
Often, these omnibus bills are used as vehicles for lawmakers to allocate taxpayer funds to causes, issues, and organizations they consider important. Democrats' proposal for the fiscal year (FY) 2023 budget is no different.
Democrats' proposals for this year's spending bills include millions of dollars in earmarks for left-wing groups and causes on the taxpayer's dime, analysis by the Heritage Foundation found.
Race, Sexuality Orgs Win Big
Organizations focused on racial, sexual, and gender issues stand to win big from the appropriations bill if passed.
For instance, the bill would grant $1 million to "Zora's House," an Ohio-based nonprofit that describes itself as "a sanctuary for women and gender-expansive people of color to dream, connect, and create; to shine bright and inspire change."
In the same strain, Zora's House calls itself "A community for women and non-binary people of color committed to transforming themselves and the world around them."
Even more is granted to the "American LGBTQ+ Museum," a New York City museum—$3 million.
The so-called museum, while it has plans to open physical locations at an unspecified future date, currently operates entirely online.
"In the years to come, our plan is to create a physical space in New York City—one that is vibrant and welcoming, both visually and cognitively, for the entire LGBTQ+ community," the organization wrote in its first blog post on its website.
According to its mission statement, "The American LGBTQ+ Museum preserves, investigates, and celebrates the dynamic histories and cultures of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people, as well as those of the emergent and adjacent identities among our communities. Using exhibitions and programs, we seek to advance LGBTQ+ equality through the lens of social justice movements, including, but not limited to, race, gender, class, immigration, and disability."
In a line reminiscent of the rhetoric of Karl Marx and his adherents, the museum writes, "We envision a world in which all people work toward and experience the joy of liberation."
The bill would grant another $477,000 to the "Equity Institute," a Rhode Island-based nonprofit dedicated to "develop[ing] and implement[ing] innovative solutions for building more diverse, equitable, and inclusive learning and professional environments."
"We envision an antiracist education system that recognizes identity and human connection as central to the process of teaching and learning where all young people build the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in the world," the group writes in its mission statement.
Specifically, the group "[works] directly with schools, organizations, and communities to develop and implement antiracist strategies to advance equitable learning outcomes for all students."
In an emailed press release, the Heritage Foundation dismissed the organization as one formed to "indoctrinate teachers" with left-wing ideology.
The appropriations don't end there.
An additional $2.4 million would be granted to San Diego Community College. Half of this funding is set to go to "LGBTQIA+ Pride Centers" while the other half is appropriated for "Dreamer Resource Centers."
"Dreamer" is a term used to refer to those protected by President Barack Obama's controversial Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA program. Though the measure remains in place, "dreamers" are legally considered illegal aliens, and Republicans have long sought to end the program, undertaken via executive action rather than through Congress.
The $1.2 million granted for the "Dreamer Resource Centers," then, would mean using taxpayer dollars to fund organizations helping those in contravention of federal law.
Heritage also pointed to several "silly and absurd" earmarks included in the bill: $2 million for the "Great Blacks in Wax" Museum in Baltimore, a $1.1 million solar array in Kirkland, Washington—one of the least sunny places in the country—and $1.6 million for the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain, named after outgoing Senate President Pro Tempore Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), who requested the earmark himself.
Additionally, Democrats' spending bill would grant $3 million for water infrastructure in a part of Alaska that is so sparsely populated that the $3 million appropriation is the equivalent of $44,000 per resident.
David Ditch, a senior policy analyst for Heritage, discussed the proposed earmarks in an interview with The Epoch Times, and he emphasized that these are not merely cherry-picked radical proposals, but are instead proposals that have already gotten the approval of the House Appropriations Committee.
"I want to specify that there are a larger number of proposals or requests that are made by members," Ditch said. "These are the ones that have made it through sort of the cutting room floor and have been approved by the Appropriations Committee."
Ditch noted that while the bill would grant millions to left-wing causes, there are no equivalent appropriations for "blatantly conservative groups."
In contrast to the appropriations granted to groups pushing overtly left-wing ideology, Ditch said, "I do not see funds being dedicated to just blatantly conservative activist groups."
In part, Ditch said that this is attributable to the lack of similar activist work by conservative groups.
"There's a network of left wing nonprofits doing a variety of things across the country, in many cases relating to the LGBT community, in some cases, relating to sort of race-based or race-focused activism," Ditch said.
"There isn't really a parallel on the right," he added.
'Corrosive'
Many of the issues funded by Democrats' proposals, including issues related to race and sexuality, remain highly controversial among members of the American public. Ditch argued that these issues are "corrosive," and should be left out of spending bills.
The appropriations set out in the bill, Ditch mused, "is Democrats' way of saying 'regardless of whether you agree with these groups and their mission, we're going to force the American public to fund them.'"
While Ditch has called for earmarks to be done away with entirely, he conceded that not all earmarks are created equal.
"It's one thing to have earmarks for affordable housing in different parts of the country, or interest rates, or different types of infrastructure," Ditch said. "These are things [that] have lots and lots of historical precedent."
But in recent years, Ditch said, left-wing interests have increasingly taken advantage of earmarks to push overtly political goals on issues that are far from settled in the public conscience.
"I'm seeing more and more of an aggressive push to fund left left-wing groups that have a very clear political agenda or that are directly linked to the political and social agenda of the left," Ditch said. "I think that type of funding isn't just wasteful and inappropriate: it's corrosive, frankly."
Instead, Ditch said, "The federal government should focus on things with their real national priorities and things where there is a national consensus. Unfortunately, over the course of the last 100 years, there are more and more things that the federal government spends money on, where there's absolutely not a consensus, and it's part of why our politics have become so contentious."
Will It Pass?
The fate of the omnibus package hinges largely on choices made by the U.S. Senate.
In the House, where Democrats still have the majority, it will be a breeze to pass the package. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will only need the support of a simple majority to advance the package.
However, the Senate has different rules.
In the upper chamber, almost every single bill—with very few exceptions—must first overcome the 60-vote filibuster threshold. This vote, known as cloture, is necessary for a bill to move to the floor for a final simple majority vote.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), leader of the Senate GOP caucus, has indicated that he's theoretically open to working with Democrats to pass an omnibus bill before the Dec. 16 deadline.
However, after bicameral opposition from within his party to any long-term spending deal—including Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), and Mike Braun (R-Ind.), as well as House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), and Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas)—McConnell is now indicating that a CR is looking more likely than an omnibus bill.
"We're at a pretty significant impasse," McConnell told reporters on Tuesday. "Time is ticking. We have not been able to agree on a top line yet, and I think it's becoming increasingly likely that we might need to do a short-term CR into early next year."
Either way, the clock is ticking for lawmakers to avert a government shutdown, which will begin after Dec. 16 if no compromise is struck.

Why is this woke, immoral, destructive, demonic Democrat Party so obsessed with giving taxpayers money to the Blacks and the LGBTQ??
To fully advance the Lying, Treasonous, Demonic, Woke, Socialist Democrat Party's destructive beliefs and agendas is to divide our citizens with hate and promote – racism, open borders, radical feminism, abortion-on-demand, the LGBTQ lifestyle, unfettered sexual identity, transgender, same sex marriage, child indoctrination into sexual confusion and perversions, the pagan Liberal left Democrats must do away with GOD, our Constitution, common sense, morality, Christian values and free religious exercise altogether.
Under the of Disguise of Democrats versions of "anti-discrimination."
Have you ever noticed that whatever God has declared a sin or an abomination in the Bible,
This woke, immoral Democrat party encourages, promotes and supports?? 🙁 🙁 🙁
Albert M on 11:34 am December 8, 2022 at 11:34 am
I wonder how many democrats disagree with all this ****, but just don't speak up. Certainly, they all can't be brainwashed, or ignorant.
IF they didn't they wouldn't BE dems!

The "American LGBTQ Museum,"? I hate to imagine the artifacts and various displays that would be included in this "museum". But then why stop there with the "promote the leftist agenda" spending spree? I would suggest eighty foot tall statues of Chairman Mao and Joey Stalin shaking hands in the middle of the Washington mall.
