ERIK HUSEKLEPP last night claimed he's ready to jump into action at Celtic as Portuguese defender Marco Caneira opened talks to land a free transfer to Parkhead himself.
Norway striker Erik Huseklepp is the subject of a £1million move.
Norway striker Huseklepp is the subject of a £1million move from the Hoops and Brann Bergen general manager Roald Bruun-Hanssen has visited Glasgow for negotiations.
The Norwegian league season ended in November, but Huseklepp is keen to land a deal and insists he is fit enough to play right now.
The 26-year-old said:"I'm in good shape.I have trained a lot during the holidays on strength, stamina and football.
" I do dream about playing abroad and for a big club like Celtic .There have been some phone calls and some agents have been in touch.I hope it goes well for me and that I get a move."
Meanwhile, centre-half Caneira was last night locked in talks with Sporting Lisbon general manager Jose Couceiro over his future.
Sources in Portugal state that Caneira is owed money by the club under the terms of his current contract, which runs until 2012.
He is believed to be putting forward a suggestion that the cash is written off in return for a free transfer.
The 31-year-old has been out of the picture at Sporting over the past few months and, as Express Sport exclusively revealed last week, has already had a training stint at Celtic's Lennoxtown base.
He played in a bounce game and manager Neil Lennon admitted there is scope for him to return on a permanent arrangement.
Celts are looking to strengthen their squad and are already in talks to sign up Nottingham Forest's Kelvin Wilson on a pre-contract.


Senate Intelligence Committee chair Dianne Feinstein, who spearheaded the report, live tweeted during Brennan's remarks and offered rebuttals to many of his points. She repeatedly used the hashtag #ReadTheReport and on some occasions even referenced specific pages of the report in her tweets as she responded to Brennan's comments. The hashtag #ReadTheReport quickly garnered 2,000 tweets after Feinstein began using it, according to Twitter analytics tool Topsy.


Jen Pan, who made headlines for her personal project to encourage breastfeeding, has released new photos today. These are from the last of a three-part series.
With the skyline lit up by the warm glow of a sunset, the images show mum Joanne breastfeeding Baby C at East Coast beach.
Referring to the series, the photographer and nursing mum to two kids writes on her blog: "We started off celebrating motherhood with the beautiful image of a breastfeeding goddess.
Since the photos were posted online on Jan 12, they have drawn largely positive comments. And to the negative ones, Jen says the images are not meant to sexualise motherhood.
"Our aim for this series has always been to inspire mothers in their breastfeeding journey and not to rally a movement specifically towards feeding openly without covering up in public," she writes on her Facebook.
"Mothers need to nurse whenever their baby is hungry and whichever way they feed their baby, whether using a nursing room or using a cover, is dependent on the mother & baby preference. It's like you would not fault someone for using either a fork or chopsticks to eat.

London Calling: Widows & Wanderers
Lakshman Menon
Eighteen months ago, Crystal Harris jettisoned Hugh Hefner at the very steps of the altar declaring: "I'm not turned on by Hef. Sorry". Last month, exercising the prerogative of women through the ages, she changed her mind and married him. Hefner gallantly said Crystal "deserves to be my widow". Who can doubt she will be? At 86, the old roué is 59 years older than his unblushing bride. As for the new Mrs Hefner, she tweeted forth that she was "feeling very happy, lucky and blessed". I'd be feeling pretty blessed myself, especially if Hefner's longevity proves the same as his virility which, as Crystal once famously said, lasts "like two seconds".
Revisionist Revenge
If there is anyone more mendacious, duplicitous and deranged than Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, President of Argentina, I urge them to donate their head to the Natural History Museum. [Do sit down, Ed Miliband; you're bound for a different institution]. Mrs Kirchner has half bankrupted her country by taking out advertisements in the British left-wing press to mark the 180th anniversary of the date when "in a blatant exercise of 19th-century colonialism, Argentina was forcibly stripped" of the Falkland Islands by the British and "the Argentines on the Islands [sic] were expelled by the Royal Navy".
Even as a revisionist, Mrs Kirchner is as maladroit as she is moronic. For one, Argentina did not exist in 1833. It was known as the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata, created by colonialists of predominantly Spanish extraction [from whom Mrs Kirchner herself descends] who extirpated, suppressed and subjugated the indigenous peoples. For another, in 1833 the total population of the Falklands was just 44. Far from being indigenous to the islands, they numbered Brits, Germans, Uruguayans, a Frenchman and a Jamaican. When a British ship landed on January 3rd 1833, the captain politely asked the "Argentinean" military garrison, which had been in illegal occupation for all of three months, to leave. The brave garrison didn't just take him at his word; they fled. All but two of the twelve "Argentinean" civilians, however, remained. Their descendants are among the present population of 2,500; a self-governing and proudly British Overseas Territory by their own free choice. The "colonialists" in this story are the Argentineans who invaded the Falklands in 1982 before being ejected for their pains. Mrs Kirchner would do well to remember this fact, catastrophically obtuse though she may be.
Phrase and a Half
A friend has introduced me to a figure of speech known as paraprosdokian in which the second half of a phrase is so unexpected that it forces the reader to re-interpret the first part. Oscar Wilde skilfully deployed paraprosdokians: "Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others whenever they go". Churchill skewered Sir Stafford Cripps with: "There but for the grace of God goes God". [For all his love of America, Churchill observed with acuity: "You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing; after they have tried everything else"]. Here is an unattributed paraprosdokian which could be applied to all politicians; "a fool and his money are soon elected". Dr Manmohan Singh is, of course, the exception to this rule. Despite the abundance both of his own fatuity and of his party's coffers, he has never persuaded the Indian voters to elect him to parliament. He became Prime Minister through the aegis of Mrs Gandhi the Second. That he remains in office proves the theory that behind every successful man is a surprised woman.
Thunder & Frightening
On the same theme, as Einstein maintained, the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits. The imbecility of the peddlers of "global warming" is boundless. As the journalist, Christopher Booker, reminds us, for years, these wretched creatures have prophesied that Britain would be struck by "hotter, drier summers", plagued by drought from early spring "until Christmas and perhaps beyond". 2012 ended up having the wettest spring, the soggiest summer and being the wettest year since records began. The Met office now confesses that global warming has "slowed down" and that it is "actively researching" the "potential causes". It needn't bother; the only truth about global warming is that there's no such thing as global warming. I wish there were. What fun to dine al fresco in London instead of being trapped, shivering, indoors.

Since the first Pan American Games for women in 1955, the USA has compiled an overall record of 78-15 and now owns five silvers medals, along with seven gold medals and two bronze medals.
TORONTO, Canada (July 20, 2015) – The 2015 U.S. Pan American Women's Basketball Team (4-1) finished with a silver medal after coming up short and losing 81-73 to host Canada (5-0) in the gold medal game of the 2015 Pan American Games on Monday night at Ryerson Athletic Center in Toronto, Canada.
Golden Performance: Kia Nurse scored 33 pts to help Team Canada win their first Pan American Gold.

Four U.S. players scored in double-digits, but 17 points and 11 rebounds from Breanna Stewart (Connecticut/North Syracuse, N.Y.) and a U.S. Women's Pan American record 10-of-10 night at the free throw line from Linnae Harper (Kentucky/Chicago, Ill.), were not enough to help the USA overcome 33 points from rising University of Connecticut sophomore Kia Nurse, who also was 11-of-12 from the free throw line.
Earlier today, Cuba (3-2) edged Brazil (2-3) 66-62 for the bronze medal.


It is a bit interesting that many women do not consider creams as natural breast enhancers. This is despite the effectiveness of creams in bust enhancement. Creams are only effective if used properly. Follow all the instructions indicated on the back of the cream to the latter. For most women with small breasts, fewer goals are as important or as prioritized as bust enlargement. Creams are much better than pills or other types of medication. Creams are much cheaper than surgical procedures. Fewer complications arise with the use of creams. Surgeries and pills are responsible for numerous complications that would cost more to eliminate or treat.
Creams are pain-free. Surgeries cause too much pain and discomfort. Moreover, surgeries take much longer to heal. This is not the case with creams. Moreover, in only a matter of weeks, the breasts shall have grown much larger with proper application of the creams. Surgeries might produce immediate results. However, they are shortcuts, thus one of the reasons behind the high fees that women must pay for the surgical procedures. Moreover, with surgeries, women have to deal with numerous risks. It is also worth mentioning that surgery is all about fitting some implants on to the breasts. Not all women respond well to the implants.
The cost factor is worth considering when talking about surgery. This is because a simple surgical procedure could cost between $7,000 and $10,000. This does not guarantee that the procedure shall produce the desired results or be devoid of pain and discomfort. Creams are much better in this regard, in that they do are not responsible for too causing excruciating pain. Creams do not also cause a huge dent in the woman's pocket or finances. Creams have undergone clinically tests and been deemed clinically and medically safe for use in bust enlargement. These benefits are only achievable with the correct choice of creams.
It is worth stating that the creams are very popular with many women because it is easily absorbed. The faster absorption means that creams can start working on enlarging creams immediately. The creams are applied directly on the breasts. They get absorbed very fast. They are better than pills in this regard. Pills are not as effective and are no more than a waste of time and money. Some people wrongly believe that pills are more effective as they are taken orally. They claim that creams shall take much longer because of the need for more time absorption to take place and results to be delivered.
The enlargement creams can be used on a daily basis, without side effects. Pills are more dangerous because of the effect they might have on blood composition. Pills also increase the level of prolactin, which is not entirely beneficial. More importantly, make a careful selection of the creams. Check that they are clearly labeled for breast enlargement. Follow the instructions on how and when to apply the creams. Be patient and do not expect quick results. Give the creams a few weeks to start enlarging the breasts.

Fintech Firm Revolut Reaches $1.7 Billion Valuation After Integrating Cryptocurrency
For many years, TransferWise, the fintech company that allows users to send bank payments with extremely cheap fees and shorter verification periods was the most dominant fintech business in Europe. In April, Revolut reached a $1.7 billion valuation after integrating cryptocurrency, surpassing Transferwise.
Earlier this week, Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman said that the second biggest stock exchange in the US and one of the world's leading markets, is open to becoming a cryptocurrency exchange. On CNBC's Squawk Box, she said:
"Certainly Nasdaq would consider becoming a crypto exchange over time. If we do look at it and say 'it's time, people are ready for a more regulated market,' for something that provides a fair experience for investors. I believe that digital currencies will continue to persist it's just a matter of how long it will take for that space to mature. Once you look at it and say, 'do we want to provide a regulated market for this?' Certainly Nasdaq would consider it."
The cryptocurrency is market is still relatively small and is valued at $400 billion. But, it is also one of the fastest growing industries internationally. Recently, as CCN reported, a major cryptocurrency exchange Binance surpassed the profits of Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest financial institution. Startups within the cryptocurrency sector are directly competing with banks and leading financial service providers.
Revolut, a London-based fintech company, was valued at less than a billion dollars last year and its user base was not comparable to its rival company TransferWise. In late 2017, Revolut integrated cryptocurrency trading, allowing users to purchase and sell cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. In addition, Revolut also revealed a debit card which users can utilize to spend cryptocurrencies at any Visa-accepting merchant.
Within a year, the valuation of Revolut surged to $1.7 billion and it beat Transferwise in market cap. According to Quartz, TransferWise is currently valued at $1.6 billion, $100 million less than Revolut.
The new $1.7 billion valuation of Revolut reflects the rapid increase of the company's user base, which increased by more than 70 percent following its cryptocurrency integration. Apart from Coinbase, Revolut remains as the only bank-like network in Europe that allows users to spend, store, send, and receive payments from both bank accounts and cryptocurrencies.
South Korea, the US, and Japan have taken the approach of adopting the cryptocurrency industry and businesses within it. This month, South Korea's deputy minister of Ministry of Strategy and Finance stated that central banks should be concerned about the rapid rise of alternative payment methods like cryptocurrencies and the threat they pose against the fiat system.
"Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which led an investment and speculative bubble earlier this year, have stabilized and are leading both the authorities and investors to question the foundation of the fiat system. The central bank should consider the emergence of alternative payment methods such as cryptocurrencies as a threat to the existence of the traditional fiat system," said Minister Kim.

    data = client.recv(size)
    with open('list.txt', 'r') as my_file:
        for f in my_file.readlines():
            if(f.find('%s' % data)>-1):
                data = f
    if f:
        client.send(data)
        client.send(f)
    client.close()

I'm trying to connect to this server sending a string. This string must match one of lines described on text file. Ex: sending 'ADDRESS1' should return 'ADDRESS1  192.168.124.1' from the server, but it doesn't works. Any string sent returns only the last line of the text file. Please could someone point me to the right direction? Thanks :)

A: How are you testing this? Assuming you open a socket and connect to the host you should see that you are in fact receiving the correct line as well as the last one. Why? Because in the for loop you keep changing the value of f, the last value of f will be the last line in the file, and you send it back after sending data (which at that point is the correct value).
Here's a suggestion for how you might modify your code (assuming you want the full line back and you dont want wildcarding):
#!/usr/bin/env python

import socket
import sys

host = ''
port = 50000
backlog = 5
size = 1024
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
s.bind((host,port))
s.listen(backlog)

# build dict of addresses first, no need to do this for each message
with open('list.txt', 'r') as my_file:
    address_map = dict(line.split() for line in my_file)

while True:
    client, address = s.accept()
    req_address = client.recv(size)
    ip = address_map.get(req_address, 'Not found')
    client.send(req_address + '  ' + ip)
    client.close()

You can simply test this by doing this while the above is running:
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect(('', 50000))
s.send('ADDRESS2')
s.recv(1024)

Huckabee Says He'd Consider Using Federal Troops to Stop Abortions
Mike Huckabee/Facebook
Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee told supporters in Iowa on Thursday that if he were elected president he would consider using the FBI or National Guard to end abortion by force. Per the Topeka Capital-Journal:
"I will not pretend there is nothing we can do to stop this," Huckabee said at the event, where a Topeka Capital-Journal correspondent was present.
At his next stop, in Rockwell City, Huckabee answered follow-up questions from the correspondent, saying: "All American citizens should be protected."
Asked by another reporter how he would stop abortion, and whether this would mean using the FBI or federal forces to accomplish this, Huckabee replied: "We'll see if I get to be president."
That's crazy. The right to an abortion has been upheld by the Supreme Court. Huckabee is saying he might simply disregard the judicial branch and stop the practice unilaterally—that is, he'd remove the checks from "checks and balances." It's not the first time he's proposed a constitutional crisis as an antidote to things he doesn't like. Huckabee has also said states should practice civil disobedience by ignoring the Supreme Court's decision on same-sex marriage.
And to think, we're still nearly a week away from the first primary debate.

Q: Add constructs by topic to EFA This question is somewhat related to a previous question I asked previously
I have a data set that has roughly 300 people in the first set and 150 in the second. The surveys were taken at two different universities in two different countries
The survey has roughly 30 questions which themselves break down - based on previous research - into about 12 constructs
These constructs have not been used together before so for example, some of them are related to culture, some are related to work attitudes, some are related to personality and some are related to experience. The constructs one could say were developed independently of each other.
My question is

Do I implement EFA on all the questions at once and set the number of factors I am expecting based on previous research or is it OK to just implement EFA on the related topics separately.

So for example I have four constructs that deal with just culture. Can I implement EFA on these four constructs and implement EFA separately on the other topics related constructs as well or is it good practice to implement EFA on the survey all at once?
I understand that i will have to use CFA in order to confirm the factors but at the moment im just exploring why some of the constructs have low alpha and omega values
Thank you for your time

Italy earthquake. As in previous earthquakes in L'Aquila and Emilia, the Italian mafia may seek to profit again from the collection of debris. This time prosecutors are on guard.
Italy seeks to keep mafia out of the rubble business
written by Serena Giannico
L'AQUILA, Italy
Debris is being treated like the rubble from the earthquakes in L'Aquila in 2009 and Emilia in 2012. The emergency declaration and an ordinance from the Civil Protection service issued on Sept. 1, on its way to be published in the Official Gazette, outline the procedures for removal and storage of debris that currently looms over the central Italian villages disfigured by the tremors.
Ordinance number 391 focuses on "additional urgent interventions needed to resolve the consequences of the exceptional earthquake that struck the regions of Lazio, Marche, Umbria and Abruzzo," and it is an exception to the Legislative Decree dated April 3, 2006. Article 3 lists the procedures and provisions for "the collection and transportation of material resulting from the collapse of buildings, whole or in part," or from demolition.
And the rubble, estimated at about 700,000 cubic meters, is defined as "municipal waste" and is classified as such, "limited to the stages of collection and transportation to temporary storage sites."
"These storage sites," explains Titti Postiglione, head of DICOMAC, which is coordinating the earthquake relief efforts, "will be identified by the local authorities, in consultation with Harp, Arta, local health authorities and the regions."
In these areas, the rubble will be stored for a "period of six months" and, in the meantime, operations "of separation and selection" of waste will be carried out to determine if either "recovery or disposal" applies. Another procedure will be applied to "goods of historical and artistic value and even those with symbolic value," as well as for asbestos: These will be sorted and separated at the source.
"The transportation of materials to the collection centers," it specifies further, "is the responsibility of those companies operating directly in the integrated management of municipal waste in the regions affected" or "indirectly" of transportation companies "not registered as suppliers" and without a system for the "traceability of waste. … Said activities are carried out without any prior analysis."
Similar procedures were adopted after the tragedy of April 6, 2009, in L'Aquila — which produced 3 million tons of rubble — and the disaster of May 2012 in Emilia. Also at that time, Libera protested against these measures, calling them irresponsible. Because, in essence, in the name of the emergency and urgency, controls and constraints are eliminated.
And, indeed, according to judicial and journalistic investigations, organized crime has managed to slip into the reconstruction efforts in the two regions, specifically in the tasks of removal and transportation of rubble, swarming the streets of the destroyed towns with trucks. In the past years in Emilia, the Anti-Mafia task force and the joint investigation teams have denounced the proximity of some construction companies to the 'Ndrangheta, the Calabrian mob, and in particular with the Crotone group.
For this reason, some companies, including important ones, have been banned from the White List, the register of suppliers and subcontractors for reconstruction, because of the "underlying and present danger of mafia infiltration."
In Abruzzo, a year after the tragedy, Libera published a dossier on "shady deals on the rubble, the plots, the ties between the administrations and the mafias, the assignments to the gangs — in a few words, all the illegal activities after the earthquake" on a journey "across the deals made on the dead and among sand buildings, on small and large contracts, driven in the name of and endless emergency." Pages signed by the representative of Abruzzo at the association, Angelo Venti, focusing on the "mystery of the missing debris, the thriller of seismic isolators that did not meet regulations, the costs housing demanded by Berlusconi."
Later, after inquiries and interventions, it turned out that the Casalesi, thanks to some builders, were doing businesses in the capital of Abruzzo.
A few days ago, as a result of arrests of members of the 'Ndrangheta group Ferrazzo in different regions, the national anti-mafia prosecutor Franco Roberti sounded the alarm from L'Aquila in reference to the reconstruction of areas hit by the earthquake on Aug. 24. He said: "So, we must make reference to the CRASI model [an Italian acronym of Research and Analysis Center for Investigative Development]. By cross-referencing the data collected from various sources, the CRASI model allows to check for possible links between criminal elements who want to enter the reconstruction program. It must be prevented at a critical time, the most dangerous of all the direct assignments of utmost urgent measures: contracts to dispose of and remove debris, install shoring, and provide brokerage services and labor."

FXTraderPauls Trading Adventures | How can I help you?
Whilst having supported hundreds of traders of all levels & experiences I can conclude that every trader has just one goal: to consistently make money trading the markets.
Do any of those reasons resonate with your own experience?
2. Having the discipline to follow the plan.
And by addressing these two issues, traders will also have taken significant steps towards controlling their emotions, setting and obeying stop losses, and avoiding over trading.
So how can you achieve those two key issues? Well I believe this is where working with a coach can help you.
– The role of a coach is to support, motivate and encourage you to achieve what you are capable of as a trader and to help you continue expanding your horizons of success.
– A coach becomes a trading confidante, somebody you can trust, who is there to reflect back to you, in a non- judgmental way, what you already know to be true but sometimes need reminding of.
– A coach helps nurture and develop your positive self-image as a trader and holds this as a reference for you as your confidence and performance improve.
– A coach can also be your companion and guide, as required, through the many pitfalls of trading.
In order to help you improve your trading I offer three packages to meet your requirements. I'm happy to discuss a bespoke mix of all three if it will help you improve.
This is a one-off 3 hour intensive 1-2-1 session with myself.
– develop a future plan for your business.
Overall this can be best summed up as helping a person move from being an amateur with a hobby towards being a professional with a business. As trading is such a lonesome endeavour people really enjoy getting the chance to spend 1-2-1 time with an experienced trader & mentor. I can help by providing an objective analysis and an effective sounding board.
One of the joys of trading is having the freedom to work where, how and when you like. But with that freedom, comes a cruel cost. Simply put, the markets cannot protect a trader from themselves.
Unlike fund managers, individual traders are unsupervised and have the freedom to act unchecked in any way that they choose. Unfortunately this kind of freedom reinforces bad habits.
Having your own Personal Trading Mentor acting like your Trading Manager can help you overcome the temptations to ignore your rules and break your discipline. It's about having someone to hold you accountable for your actions and your trading. It's about having someone to keep you honest in your trading!
The cost for this is £995 for 3 months of support. Sessions are conducted online.
My own trading revolves around combining most of my trading activity to within a 2-3 hour period on a Sunday evening followed by a few minutes each day looking for set-ups and managing trades. This is ideal for busy professionals who have limited availability during the working week.
I have three main strategies. One is a longer term position trading strategy. The second one is the bread-and-butter swing trading (and the focus of the Lifestyle Trader Day) and the other is a very short-term aggressive opportunity.
I deliver this through a program of intensive 1-2-1 tuition sessions with 12 months of follow-on Mentoring sessions. Yes, that's right you have mentoring for 12 months. That's how long it will take.
The cost for the 12 month program is £4,250 which includes 4 half days of 1-2-1 teaching plus 20 hours of follow-up mentoring throughout the year and continuous e-mail support. This is not a program for a complete beginner but absolutely ideal for someone has some live trading experience. (If you are a complete beginner you would require a further days training which would need to be discussed).
Regardless of which program a client chooses they all include a variety of Teaching, Mentoring & Coaching based upon the clients situation. It's all about the client receiving the best support possible in order for them to achieve their specific goals.
So why not do something today about moving your trading business forward?
Drop me an email ( paulwallace@tradingbeliefs.com) or give me a call +44 (0) 7903 457 940 for a no-obligation, confidential call to discuss your trading requirements.

How many international agreements has the Cuban regime breached in its handling of the San Isidro Movement?
Havana has squandered an opportunity to inaugurate its seat on the Human Rights Council by showing respect for them.
Madrid 01 Dic 2020 - 17:42 CET
Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara during the hunger strike at the headquarters of the San Isidro Movement. Katherine Bisquet
The peaceful protest by activists at the headquarters of the San Isidro Movement (MSI), in Havana represented an opportunity for the Cuban State to inaugurate its fifth seat on the UN Human Rights Council by showing at least a modicum of commitment to said rights, especially after all the criticism that its candidacy and subsequent election drew. The Government could have urged the court that tried rapper Denis Solís in what was a summary trial to review the case and order new proceedings with all due legal guarantees for the accused.
Instead, it decided to leave hunger strikers with two options: give in or die. With the passing of the days and the persistence of the strikers, the last option began to become ever more likely. Apparently the regime decided that it was preferable to remove them by force than to allow them to starve as the world looked on.
By forcibly entering the headquarters of the San Isidro Movement, where no illegal or hidden activity was being perpetrated, the State violated its commitment to respect resolutions 21/16 of September 27, 2012; 10/22 of March 21, 2013, and 5/24 of September 26, 2013. These resolutions, approved by the Human Rights Council, refer to respect for right to freedom of peaceful assembly, association and demonstration.
These instruments remind states of their obligation to respect and protect the rights of all persons to freedom of peaceful assembly and association by any means, including those who embrace minority or dissident positions or beliefs, human rights defenders, union members, and even migrants. It also instructs states to adopt all necessary measures to ensure that any restrictions on the free exercise of the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association comply with their obligations under international human rights law.
The resolutions also urge states to promote a safe and conducive environment so that individuals and groups can exercise their rights to peaceful assembly, expression and association, also ensuring that their national laws and procedures related to these rights are in accordance with their obligations and international commitments related to human rights, as well as its principles.
By cutting off the Internet connection, at least in the capital, the State not only violated the rights of MSI members to seek and receive information, but of all the people. This right is enshrined in the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man, the American Convention on Human Rights, the Inter-American Democratic Charter, as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (signed by La Havana in 2008, but not ratified).
By accusing Denis Solís in its press, sentenced to eight months in prison after a summary trial for trumped-up contempt chrages after being "associated with terrorist groups" from the United States, the Cuban State violated his right to his good name, protected by the Constitution; and violated Resolution 68/181 approved by the UN General Assembly in December 2013, on the protection of human rights defenders.
Said resolution expresses the Assembly's concern that "in some cases, legislation and other national measures on security and the fight against terrorism have been misused against human rights defenders (...) or have obstructed their work and endangered their security in contravention of international law."
By perpetrating verbal and physical attacks against those who sought to reach the headquarters of the San Isidro Movement, to provide the strikers with some sort of support or assistance, the Cuban State also failed to fulfill its obligation to respect, guarantee and protect citizens' human rights.
The aforementioned Resolution 68/181 warns in another paragraph about "harassment and verbal aggression, and attacks on people's reputations, both online and through traditional means, by agents of the state, including officials in charge of law enforcement and security forces; and non-state figures, such as those related to the family and the community, in the public and private spheres," suffered by human rights defenders and women.
Far from seeking a solution to the crisis generated by the imprisonment of Denis Solís, based on a fabricated crime, the Cuban state resorted to discrediting the rapper and his fellow MSI members, and promoting their public rejection and disparagement.
This attitude constitutes yet another violation, this time of UN Resolution 53/243 of 1999, relative to the Declaration and Program of Action on a Culture of Peace, whose Article 1 emphasises "respect for life, an end to violence, and the promotion and practice of non-violence through education, dialogue and cooperation. Full respect for and the promotion of all human rights and fundamental freedoms (…) and adherence to the principles of freedom, justice, democracy, tolerance, solidarity, cooperation, pluralism, cultural diversity, dialogue and understanding at all levels of society and between nations."
If for the state this has been a missed opportunity to demonstrate its political willingness to respect the human rights of Cuban citizens, even those who disagree with it, it is also an opportunity for the UN to rethink the way in which the members of its Human Rights Council are elected.

K'Vada
Captain K'Vada
Officer, Klingon Defense Force
Previous Assignment:
Commanding Officer, IKS Kruge
Final Assignment:
Commanding Officer, IKS Vidd
The son of a minor house, Captain K'Vada was a Klingon officer who served in the Klingon Defense Force in the 24th century. By the late 2360s, K'Vada commanded the bird-of-prey, IKS Kruge.
In 2368, K'Vada was ordered to rendezvous with the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) and covertly transport Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Lieutenant Commander Data to Romulus and back, so they could track the whereabouts of Ambassador Spock. While transporting Picard and Data to Romulus, K'Vada was suffering from a dislocated shoulder, which Data was able to heal. Data was further able to break into the Romulan communications network, and shared his findings with K'Vada. Impressed with Data's abilities, K'Vada filed a recommendation that the Empire develop an artificial life form of its own. K'Vada also gained a measure of respect for Picard after Picard's angry response when K'Vada refused one of Picard's requests. (TNG novelization: Unification)
Following the Dominion War, K'Vada was given command of the IKS Vidd.
K'Vada was a member of the Order of the Bat'leth, and in 2376, he received a summons from fellow Order member Captain Klag of the IKS Gorkon.
The order was originally created by Lukara, the widow of Kahless the Unforgettable, to insure that Klingon honor was upheld by the Empire's warriors. Klag's message revealed that Fleet General Talak intended to go back on an honorable agreement made in good faith with the natives of the world of San-Tarah. Klag, having made the deal with the natives, intended to force the issue and defend them against Talak. K'Vada decided to answer the summons and stand beside Klag in the battle against Talak and his forces.
The battle of San-Tarah was a victory for the Order and Klingon honor, and Captain K'Vada died a glorious death after he ordered the mortally wounded Vidd on a collision course with the IKS Gogam of Talak's fleet. (GKN novel: Honor Bound)

Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 on PS5 and Xbox Series X: Free next-gen upgrade in 2021
The next-gen free upgrade for Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 on SS5 Series X and Xbox are still expected by the end of 2021, according to reports from CD Projekt RED in the recent financial conference of the Polish company.
There are no precise dates, but the target period for the release of the updates, in the CD Projekt RED programs, is still 2021, so the Polish team still aims to launch the upgrades by the end of the year, apparently.
Therefore, the same program remains that had already been presented in March 2021, when the release on PS5 and Xbox Series X | S in 2021 was confirmed, as also reiterated in June 2021, but given the situation, we cannot yet give anything for sure, beyond the intentions of the team.
As previously reported by the developers, the next-gen update will take full advantage of PS5 and Xbox Series X, being substantial upgrades to both Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 on the technological front rather than content.
The updates will be distributed free of charge to those who already own the current-gen versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3, but these are still very important products for CD Projekt RED: the release of a version specifically designed for new platforms can represent a considerable relaunch for Cyberpunk 2077, as well as for The Witcher 3 which continues to remain quiet on the crest of the wave, also thanks to the various digressions between Netflix and more.
Monolith Soft website may have leaked the date of the next Nintendo Direct
Pokémon, some games in the series would be banned for under-18s under new PEGI criteria
The new third-person Cat adventure game Stray is coming out on the 19th of July and this game has a really beautiful and breathtaking theme to the world shown in the game. This game was in development for 7 years and it is finally coming out to give the players a real feel of a Stray Cat in the modern world. The developer of this game is BlueTwelve Studio and it is published by Annapurna Interactive. The developers of this game have put a lot of time in this game to make the cat character look and feel real. The players will feel that they are actually playing as a cat because of the mechanics as well as the behavior of the cat in the game.
This adventure game has a cybercity filled with the robot citizen that you'll explore in the game. The cybercity theme is on point and they have shown that the robots have made their own living in the city. You'll walk in the streets of this city, climb on the roofs and buildings of this city and the detailing of the city is very impressive. You can interact with all of the robots in the city and can even help the robots while progressing through the story of the game.
The jumping and climbing in the game are also very impressive. You'll experience a real-life of a stray cat who is trying to get back to his family. You'll be climbing barrels, trash cans, air conditioners, etc. to look for the right way. You'll also see that there are many places that you can go, you can jump up on something or hide in a box while looking for the right path. The game has also made some neon signs in the streets of cybercity that will guide you a bit in the right direction. If you have missed the neon sign and are stuck in a place, you can also use the "Meow" of your cat. The Meow will also help you find the right path as it triggers the neon sign to glow again or something that will get your attention.
The behavior that they added of the cat is very realistic. If you see water dripping on the floor, you can drink the water from there. You can Meow to find the right path. If you see a couch or carpet, you can scratch it. You can also scratch the doors in the cybercity and by scratching some doors, the robots will open the door to check what was out there and you'll get access to their homes. There are also some places where you can take a nap. All of the behaviors of the cat will give you a lot of joy while playing as a cat in the game.
The graphics quality of the game also stands out and the lighting quality in the cybercity is pretty amazing. You'll experience really good quality lightning while in the city and by going into different homes, shops, roofs, and buildings, you'll see a cybercity from the eyes of a Stray Cat.
The total length of the gameplay is about 7-8 hours if you only play through the story. But if you explore the whole city and interact will all the robots and help them, it can be extended to 10 hours.
We have considered some good and bad points of Stray from the gameplay.
The gameplay and the behavior of the cat enhance the experience of the game.
The radio songs playing at various points in the game sets the mood with the environment.
The puzzles are well designed and they are suitably challenging.
Some of the puzzles are longer and they start to feel like they are dragging by the end.
Some minor performance issues during level loading, but these clear up after a few minutes in a new area.
Although, the game is a must-try and if you like adventure games then you should probably give it a go because this game will give you a whole new experience of adventure while playing as a cat. With all the elements that the game has to offer. A great game with a good story and ambiance of the world with the experience of playing as a Stray Cat. This game will be available on July 19th for Playstation 4, Playstation 5, and Microsoft Windows.
We'll rate this game 9.5/10.
Far Cry 6 is designed around another huge open world for players to explore. And while the overall theme of the game is once again reclaiming territory from an evil dictator, there are plenty of optional activities you can engage in along the way. This includes Fishing, which is a minigame that almost seems to have become a must-have feature of all modern open-world games these days. In any case, here is how to fish in Far Cry 6 if you want to put down your assault rifle for a moment and spend an afternoon pulling a rope.
Fishing in Far Cry 6
Fishing in Far Cry 6 is unlocked at the beginning of the game as part of the tutoring missions on the first island. Once you have access to the fishing rod, you can go to any body of water, press and hold L1 / LB to open the weapon wheel, select your fishing rod, and then launch it. Then you need to slowly wind the line to attract the fish.
When taking a bite, use the onscreen prompts to move the right analog stick against the way the fish is pulling, while holding down L2 to roll the fish. Everything is quite intuitive.
Your fishing pole can be upgraded by interacting with the tackle box, which is located on the ground where you see the hook icon on your map.
Here you can change your float/lure and upgrade your fishing line and reel. You will need to use them to catch some of the toughest fish in the game, so be sure to use them if you are looking to catch all of them.
In Far Cry 6 you will meet a lot of colorful people while controlling the protagonist Dani Rojas, although not all of them are your friends. As one of Antón Castillo's favorite henchmen, General José Castillo is one of those people that you probably better never know.

Ostensibly this movement for change is being fueled by the belief that a BBA will stop the unconstitutional and out of control spending, when in actuality it will do just the opposite. Just the latest Omnibus bill would give impetus to the belief in a balanced budget amendment (BBA). Those who have failed to read the BBA bills or do any research would be shocked at what these bills entail. What sounds good does not always bode well for the American people. Remember the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act?" It is anything but affordable and it doesn't protect patients, so beware of these euphemistic names placed on these dangerous bills.
Just how would a Balanced Budget Amendment limit spending if there are no limits to spending specified in the amendment? We have to remember, that for the most part, the ones who are promoting and voting for passage of the BBA are the forces involved in the excess spending. The items on which Congress is authorized to spend money are listed, enumerated, in the Constitution. To see the list, go here. Long ago Congress decided to spend on anything they wished, despite the Constitutional restrictions.
The unconstitutional spending is horrendous. Should an amendment for a BBA be passed, it would effectively change our Constitution to where the illegal and excessive spending would be made constitutional. Top it off with the fact that one of these bills actually states that should they exceed the spending, they can just raise taxes on the American people to meet the budget. And here's another red flag – why would anyone think that the legislators would obey a different Constitution when they refuse to obey the present one? How naïve can people be?
Looking into the issue and considering how they want to change the present Constitution, we discover that their goal is to change it so that it will resonate with those who desire to fundamentally transform America so that it can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union. In a nut shell, the goal of the left will ensure that their changing of the Constitution will enable the left's treasonous and unlawful activities to become lawful. And most likely it will also make the activities of those who are trying to protect and preserve America unlawful.
One of the main objectives of these proponents of change is to do away with the Second Amendment. The left is doing everything it can through the courts to prevent President Trump's efforts to protect America. Both Democrats and a majority of the Republicans in Congress are doing everything possible to prevent our President from the build-up our military which was weakened exponentially during the Obama administration. State of the art equipment for our soldiers is at the top of the list. The Obama administration's strategy was to weaken America, bringing us down to the level of third world nations and putting our military into compromising positions when confronted with defensive issues.
In addition, the forces of the left, along with what we might call the fifth column, those who are masquerading as conservatives but aren't, are coordinated in the strategy of preventing President Trump from building the wall to stop the southern border invasion. They are also trying to stop our President from preventing sanctuary cities from transitioning into separate nation status.
This is a tactic of the left that was pushed by Joseph Stalin, mostly in undeveloped countries. It was written about fairly extensively by the late Alan Stang in his book, "IT'S VERY SIMPLE." I don't think it has been used to any extent in the last several years, however it is still in the lefts' repertoire. They never discard anything, they only adjust their goals and actions to accommodate the times and circumstances.
I allude to this for the simple reason that there are similarities between the separate nation tactic and sanctuary cities.
The U.S. Constitution does not mention "unalienable" or "natural rights." But the first 10 amendments to the Constitution list the basic rights of Americans. These amendments are known as the Bill of Rights.
So, what about the possibility of repealing of the Second Amendment – where and how does it fit in to the goals of the left? It makes the populace vulnerable for the simple reason that the people will have no way to protect themselves from guerrilla bands, or gangs of law-breakers, the same as the disarmed people of Germany were when the Brown Shirts were unleashed upon them.
In 1933 Adolf Hitler seized power and used the records to identify, disarm, and attack political opponents and Jews. Constitutional rights were suspended, and mass searches for and seizures of guns and dissident publications ensued. Police revoked gun licenses of those who were not "politically reliable.
We have observed during the Obama administration as well as those of George Bush and Bill Clinton, the restrictions on our border patrol agents in carrying out their lawful duties at the border. We have watched over and over how the law has been and continues to be perverted and applied to protecting those who invade our country. Many have come here apparently for the purpose of destroying America and what it represents – life, liberty and property for the individual – this is what America was predicated upon and anything which poses a threat to this has to be rejected.
When considering the promoted and protected invasion of illegal aliens into this country which has been actively supported by the Obama Administration, along with secretly flying Muslims to unknown areas in America, I can only conclude they are part of sinister plans in the future.
This entire hullabaloo about a possible con-con for a BBA is nothing more than a façade which has been concocted by both the left and right to deceive naïve and ignorant conservatives and set the trap for our people. Con-con promoters have become too numerous to name, politicians, newscasters, radio hosts, and pundits are jumping on the bandwagon to destroy our 1787 Constitution.
The left wants a con-con too. George Soros, the financier of global fascism is pumping millions of dollars into the same Article V campaign that is being promoted by Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Tom Coburn and many other popular conservative spokesmen.
To learn more on this read The New American's "The Left Wants A Con-Con Too." In addition, I know that the forces behind the globalist agenda for world government are on record discussing how to change our 1787 Constitution so that it would not restrict them in pursuit of their goals.
Burns also served on the board of yet another bicentennial group, the Committee on the Constitutional System (CCS). As of January 1987, the CCS had forty-eight board directors, more than a third of them members of the Council on Foreign Relations. According to Perloff, the CCS (then) were proposing drastic changes in the Constitution one would be that Congress would be expanded. The party whose nominee became president would designate one-sixth of all representatives in the house and one-third of all the senators. This would diminish the elective power of the voters and the balance between the executive and the legislative spheres. Also, the requirement for Senate ratification of treaties would be lowered.
How about that, huh? One can see that their plan is to put together a constitution that would allow the left to go just about anywhere they decided to go; especially with so many traitorous judges running interference for them.
We owe a special thanks to the patriots who have been tirelessly working to defeat this traitorous strategy by those who are bent on fundamentally transforming this nation into something diametrically opposed to the truths that are self-evident, along with each of us being endowed by God with individual unalienable rights.
These patriots are holding back the promoters of the article V con-con, thank God for their constant efforts to protect our Constitution and our God-given rights. So far this year, the enemy hasn't convinced one state to pass a call for a new convention.
