Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia and the historical center of the Caucasus, is among the oldest cities in the world.
Tbilisi occupies an eponymous basin in Eastern Georgia , standing on both banks of the Mtkvari River, at 380-600 from the sea level. King Bagrat IV fought for its liberation, but many of his attempts proved unsuccessful. In 1122, King David IV the Builder managed to liberate the city from foreign lordship and made it the capital of united Georgia by moving the seat of his power there.
Today Tbilisi proudly stands as a capital of independent Georgia and gradually reassumes its dominant role in the region by both preserving the historically established attitudes and traditions as well as becoming a modern European metropolis.
Tbilisi, the Georgian heaven, a larger-than-life city standing on cultural crossroads with doors eternally open to guests… this place knows no peers in hospitality, and leaving it inevitably fills one with sadness and an irresistible desire to come back.
Georgians themselves need no convincing – simply wandering through our capitals streets is a pastime that never gets boring.
Discover your own Tbilisi and bask in the kaleidoscope of emotions and moods that it imparts to you.
Tbilisi as part of the silk road
Today Tbilisi is a crucial industrial, social and cultural center of the Caucasus region, in addition to gradually becoming an important energy, trade and transportation hub, which is already exemplified by Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan and Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum oil and gas pipelines running through it. the city's historical position as part of one of the famous Silk Roads routes remains, making it an important crossroads uniting Northern Caucasus, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia.
The Tbilisi porch
The architecture of Tbilisi took on new shapes and incorporated new elements, including the porch, which became widespread in 1850-1860s. the staple was a large front door decorated with wood carvings, with a small window in its upper part protected by an ornamental lattice. Each door was commissioned separately; there was no mass production and every single one of them was a unique work of art.
The Tbilisian yard
It is said that Tbilisi is a meeting place for architectural styles from all over the world – a peaceful meeting place, mind you, not a ground for miscegenation. Indeed, Tbilisian architecture is a synthesis of various styles that do not overshadow but instead complement each other. One example of this is the Tbilisian yard.
These yards are truly a phenomenon – a bunch of vastly different houses jumbled around one common area, with families of various ethnicities and religious denominations existing independently and maintaining their way of live while sharing living space in a colorful synergy.
The Dry Bridge – an emporium of dreams
The dry bridge was built in 1849-51 under supervision of an Italian architect Giovanni Scudieri. In the 1930s below it flowed one of the creeks of the Mtkvari River, creating the so-called Orbeliani Island. However, the creek eventually dried up, ending the islands existence and rendering the bridge pointless, hence `Dry Bridge`.
Today this place is the country's main flea market. Starting from Soviet memorabilia and souvenirs and ending with traditional crafts, cloths and trinkets, the Dry Bridge is a tourist magnet if there ever was one. It is always crowded with customers, and nearby parks and workshops lend it an absolutely unique atmosphere.
Rustaveli Avenue
Known as Golovin Avenue in the past and colloquially as simply `Rustaveli`. This avenue is the central street of Tbilisi, named after epic poet Shota Rustaveli. It is frequently called the lifeline of Tbilisi, being home to numerous state, social, cultural and business institutions. Among them are the Georgian Parlament, the Supreme Court, Kashveti Church, National Museum of Georgia, Tbilisi Opera and Ballet Theater, Rustaveli Academic Thather, Georgian Academy of Sciences and others.
Rustaveli avenue has always been the epicenter of Georgia's important political, social or cultural events.

In the heart of hearts of Tbilisi, on the boundary of Abanotubani and Ortachala districts of the capital, on the very surface of the ground, there are hot sulphuric water outlets. The history of the foundation of Tbilisi is tied with these springs. According to one of the legends, many centuries ago when the capital of Kartli was Mtskheta and the cavity of Tbilisi was noted for its pristine nature and hunting areas, king Vakhtang Gorgasali accidentally ran against hot spring in which his falcon along with hunted pheasant died from burns. The king liked these miraculous springs so much that he ordered to erect a city there that was later called `Tbilisi` (since 1936 – Tbilisi), or `warm location`. Very soon the springs were used for supply of hot water for sulphuric hot baths that are in use up to the present while the neighborhood of these baths is called Abanotubani (District of baths in Georgia).
Tbilisi baths were well known in the whole region of the Middle East. The miraculous properties of sulphuric water were described by the X century Arab geographer, Ibn-Haukal, as follows: Cruel conqueror, Agha Mohammad Khan also believed that his incurable disease could be treated at Tbilisi baths but this was not the case, case, and disheartened eunuch ordered to level the city. Almost all foreign travelers and famous individuals in the XVII-XVIII centuries, including French visitors Jean Chardin and Dubios de Monteret, botanist Joseph Turnefor, Italian missionary Delaporti, Russian poet Aleksandr Pushkin and others remember and describe in their writings Tbilisi natural hot spring baths.
In the second half of the XIX century first substantial research of thermal waters of the Georgian capital was conducted by the German geologist and famous researcher of the Caucasus, Wilhelm Abich. It was this man who preserved for us geological review of this place and pointed out that usage of Tbilisi thermal waters for health treatment is appropriate.
Later on, high thermal efficacy of the Tbilisi hot springs was proved by many clinical and experimental observations that became a foundation to setting up of the Tbilisi Spa Resort. Up to these days there are about 35 natural thermal water outlets amounting to the overall day-and-night discharge of 1 300 000 liters. In the run-up of the inauguration of this resort very interesting project was fulfilled: one of the founders of the resort, Mikhaeil Zandukeli, had intention to develop a resort area on the territory of Ortachala, around hot springs which would include also Tbilisi Botanical garden. In 1932 a famous Georgian artist, Sidamon Eristavi, made up a project on his request, but this project was doomed due to the start of the Second World War.
Today the territory of the resort encompasses 400 hectares of space. In the North-Eastern part it is bordered by river Mtkvari and 300 Aragveli garden, in the West and SOTH-West by Tbilisi Botanical garden, and in the South – by Tabori mount and Krtsanisi. Tbilisi Spa resort ia a present-day well-equipped healthcare diagnostic and rehabilitation institution using natural substances – curing mineral sulphuric water and therapeutic mud (Kumisi peloids are used), where under supervision of skilled specialists and with the help of up-to-date diagnostic equipment and on the basis of confluence of natural factors and medications, treatment and rehabilitation courses are conducted. Scientific Practical Center for Balneology, Physiotherapy, Rehabilitation and Therapeutic Tourism also operates here.

From recreation zones on the territory of Tbilisi, the most convenient hideout for the residents of the city and its visitors is Lisi Lake. The recess is rich with special climate conditions and thermal waters and is located nearly 100 meters higher than city level neighborhoods, within several minutes' drive from downtown.
The surface area of Lisi Lake is 0,47 sq.km, its storage area is 16 sq.km, maximum depth is 4m. banks of the lake except several segments are moderately titled creating favorable conditions for swimming. The lake gets its feed from rainwater, snow and underground waters. The level of water is comparatively high, but in the fall it is low. In summertime the temperature of water runs up to 28 degrees centigrade, while in winter icy banks frequently appear. The water of the lake is rich with minerals (2695 mg/l) where the bulk of minerals are salts of sulphuric acid calcium and magnesium.
Today it is one of the most popular recreation and leisure areas of the city. In 2007, in the vicinity of the lake, a new Tbilisi hippodrome comprising a territory of 31 ha was inaugurated which is the most venerable place for the horse riding lovers. From the lake surroundings one can enjoy wonderful panoramic views of the city.
Location: city of Tbilisi, Northern slope of Mtatsminda mountain range.
Landscape: hillocky plateau
Elevation above Sea level: 687 m
Climate: mild, continental, moderately dry, winter mild with few snowfalls, mean temperature in January 0,6 degrees centigrade; summer hot, dry, mean temperature in August 22,1 degrees centigrade
Turtle lake is located in the south-Western direction from downtown, on the Northern slope of Mtatsminda mountain range. It was formed by underground torrents accumulated as a result of staggering landslides of rocks. The length of the lake – is 180 m, surface area – 0,034 sq.m, catchment area – 0,4 sq.m, mean depth – 70 sm.
In summer time Turtle lake is a beloved place of social interaction and leisure time for the starts with arrival of summer. Along with comfortable beach and outdoor cafes and bars, there is a sports fitness center and a cultural and leisure complex on the territory of Turtle lake, including, but, not limited to, mini-soccer stadium of European standarts, playground for children, landing and a pontoon-scene for professional performances where various events take place during a season.
There was a cable way from the center of the city to the Turtle lake which was constructed in the second half of the XX century and was operable till 2009. The main purpose of the cable way was to link the center of the city with the Turtle lake. The distance between station points is approximately 1140 m. the upper station of the cable way is located on the bank of Turtle lake, at elevation of 700 m above sea level, the lower one is in Vake park, at elevation of 444 m above sea level.
Tskhneti
Resort of Tskhneti
Location: Northern slope of Trialeti mountain range.
Elevation above Sea level:800-1000 m.
Landscape: resembling terraces
Climate: low and middle mountain climate winter moderately cold with few snowfalls, mean temperature in January 2 degrees centigrade; summer moderately dry, warm, mean temperature in August 20 degrees centigrade
Mean annual amount of precipitation:550-650 mm
mean annual comparative air humidity:67%
Natural therapeutic factors: lower belt low and middle mountain climate.
Types of treatment: passive climate therapy.
Diseases for treatment: TB of lympatic glands, chronic bronchitis and pleuritis, secondary deficiency of blood, alimentary disorders, malaria, rachitis, bronchial asthma, convalescene.
Tbilisi is surrounded by slopes having sound climate and magnificent scenery and creating favorable conditions for formation of the resort areas in suburbia. Among those resorts are Tskhneti, Kojori, Kiketi, Betania, Gombori, Martkopi, Manglisi. Taking into account proximity to Tbilisi and natural therapeutic factors, importance of each of them is rising.
Tskhneti is located 8 km away from downtown Tbilisi, on the Eastern slope of Trialeti mountain range, in the gorge of river Vere. It has been known from the Annals as a recess area, intensive development started here at the end of XIX century, while resort infrastructure was constructed during Soviet period. At this time Tskhneti general development plan was made up. In 1935-36 this resort was artificially vegetated with coniferous species; in 1938 the first children′s health center, students camp, orphanage, out-patient clinic and other facilities were built. Since 1960-1970 Tskhneti has become the first class suburban resort area for Tbilisi. At this period government rest-houses were also constructed.
In summer Tskhneti is always cool that ensures comfortable conditions for discharging warmth by the human body. This is the case not only thanks to difference of elevation above sea level. The ideal ventilation of the venue, regulated cooling activities of local winds and green veil have a restraining influence on the temperature of air.
Many-year observations on the impact of the local environment on human bodies firmly prove that it has high therapeutic merits with reference of many diseases and especially children′s ailments. Tskhneti has great importance in revitalizing vigor of the body after undergoing acute diseases. At present there are primarily private residences and rest houses on the territory of the resort. Two health centers operate in summertime.
Kojori
Location: bifurcation of Trialeti mountain range.
Elevation above Sea level:1338-1350 m.
Landscape: mountain plateau
Climate: moderately dry, forest zone of middle highland climate, winter moderately cold, mean temperature in January 2,6 degrees centigrade; snow cover not high, lasting from December up to to the end of February; summer dry, moderately warm, summer moderately dry, warm, mean temperature in August 17 degrees centigrade.
annual precipitation:745 mm
Natural therapeutic factors: lower belt middle mountain climate.
Types of treatment: passive and active climate therapy.
Diseases for treatment: TB of lympatic glands, musculoskeletal system, bronchitis, pleuritis, secondary deficiency of blood, alimentary tract diseases of children, malaria, rachitis bronchial asthma, neuroses.
In the direction of South-west from Tbilisi, a snaky road leads up the mountain that as soon as it passes rest-house suburbia of Tbilisi, like Okrokana, Shindisi and Tabakhmela, enters into the mountain climatic resort of Kojori. The length of this road from downtown Tbilisi is 14 kilometers, while by taking pathway from Mtatsminda to Kojori one can reach it by reducing the distance up to 7 km.
Earlier Kojori was named Agharani, while summer standing for the Georgian kings in its vicinity was called Aghara Fortress (today – Kojori Fortress). The place name of Kojori emerged later. Part of researchers relate it to the word `Kochori` (forelock in Georgian); other part of scholars believe that the word Kojori is linked to Kojora (Korn in Georgian), as local landscape seems to be really looking callous.
The mountain climate reigning in Kojori facilitates general revival of human vigor and ability of the body to be immune to diseases. It is especially effective with respect to children of lower age.
Earlier on when suburbs of Tbilisi were still rich with vegetation, forests and gardens, and in summer time the city was cooler than now, the residents were not so adamant in going to the suburbs. Only the well-off part of Tbilisians used to go to the suburbia and make holidays there. Then such places were considered to be Ortachala, Krtsanisi Gardens, Gidani, Shindisi, Tabakhmela, Tsavkisi, Digomi Gardens, Okrokana, Tskneti and Kojori, now within the boundaries of the city. Among them Kojori was a privileged place known as the summer resting venue of Georgian kings where in XIX century the Viceroy of the Caucasus flanked by other dignitaries used to make holidays in summer.
Tbilisi reservoir
Location: Iori plateau North-Eastern part of Tbilisi.
Elevation above Sea level: 630-650m.
Climate: mild, continental, moderately dry, winter mild with little snow, mean temperature in January 1 degrees centigrade; summer hot, mean temperature in August 24 degrees centigrade.
Tbilisi reservoir (Tbilisi Sea) spreads on 11.8 km in the Eastern part of the city. It was opened in 1951 on the site of salty ponds of Avlabari, lguniani and Kukia. It is presumed that these three lakes were located in the ancient riverbed of river Mtkvari. The length of the pond is 8,75 km, the longest segment of width is 1,85 m. surface area – 11,6 sq. km. the maximum depth – 45 m. it is fed by waters of river Aragvi and Iori. Its waters are used for irrigation, water supply of Tbilisi, cultivation of fish, water sports.
In various seasons of the year the water temperature in the reservoir of Tbilisi is characterized by rather big swings (average 18 degrees centigrade). True, the surface of the reservoir has no ice formation in winter, but the bank or a thin strip still goes icy. In July and August water warms up to 26 degrees and attracts a lot of visitors.
In 2007, at the expense of Tianeti, Mtskheta and Sagarejo Forestry, part of lands of Didgori Experimental Model Forestry Foundation and Saguramo State Sanctuary, Tbilisi National Park founded in 1975 and called the lungs of the city, was revived and expanded. The purpose of foundation of this park is protection of rare species of plants in the central part of Eastern Georgia and forest ecosystems typical for this territory, preservation of biological and landscape variety as well as furtherance of ecological safety and development of recreational, ecological tourism and educational activities in natural conditions.
Tbilisi National Park is important from tourism expansion viewpoint as well. Protected territory is located in proximity of two important Georgian towns – Mtskheta and Tbilisi, and directly borders the masterpiece of the VI century Georgian architecture – Jvari of Mtskheta, from where magnificent panoramic view of the town of Mtskheta opens up.

Sinosphere | Bowed and Remorseful, Former Red Guard Recalls Teacher's Death
Bowed and Remorseful, Former Red Guard Recalls Teacher's Death
By Chris Buckley

Updated, 3:54 a.m. ET | Nearly half a century after Bian Zhongyun was beaten, kicked, tormented and left to die, bloody and alone, at the Beijing girls' school where she was deputy principal, a daughter of the Communist Party elite has offered public penance — of a kind that instantly brought controversy — for her part in one of the most notorious killings of the Cultural Revolution.
Growing numbers of aging Red Guards have declared their contrition for violence perpetrated from 1966, when Mao Zedong urged students to turn against the school and party authorities he accused of stymieing his vision of a revolutionary society cleansed of ideological laxity.
But the apology from Song Binbin, reported by The Beijing News on Monday, quickly drew attention and was featured on many Chinese news websites. Here was a daughter of a veteran revolutionary apologizing for what has been widely described as the first killing of a teacher in the decade-long Cultural Revolution.
Ms. Song's father was Song Renqiong, a general who served as a senior official under Mao and later Deng Xiaoping. Ms. Song herself won fame as a member of the first wave of Red Guards when she was photographed meeting Mao. But for years, many of them spent in the United States, she was muted about the death of Ms. Bian, a deputy principal at the elite Beijing Normal University Girls High School, where she was a student. The Cultural Revolution remains a sensitive, and heavily censored, chapter in China's history. President Xi Jinping mentioned it only once and briefly in a speech last month celebrating the 120th anniversary of Mao's birth.
On Sunday in Beijing, Ms. Song, who was born in 1949, told a gathering of former students and teachers from the school that she was sorry.
"Please allow me to express my everlasting solicitude and apologies to Principal Bian," she said, according to The Beijing News. "I failed to properly protect the school leaders, and this has been a lifelong source of anguish and remorse."
Tearfully, Ms. Song read out a statement about her "responsibility for Principal Bian's terrible fate." (Though Ms. Bian was actually a deputy principal, she served as the school's leader.) The newspaper showed a photo of Ms. Song and other former students bowed before a bust of Ms. Bian.
"The Cultural Revolution was a massive calamity," she said, according to a text of her statement published on "Consensus Net," a Chinese website that specializes in intellectual and political discussions. She said:
How a country faces the future depends in large part on how it faces its past…
I hope that all those who did wrong in the Cultural Revolution and hurt teachers and classmates will face up to themselves, reflect on the Cultural Revolution, seek forgiveness and achieve reconciliation.
Ms. Song's apology immediately prompted rival views on the Internet in China. Some welcomed her words, others called them belated and inadequate. Some said the Communist Party itself should apologize.
Yin Hongbiao, a scholar at Peking University who studies the Cultural Revolution, said in a telephone interview that Ms. Song had taken a valuable step in confronting her past and that rumors had overstated her role in Ms. Bian's death.
But Cui Weiping, a retired professor of literature in Beijing who has written about China's struggle to recall – or forget – its traumatic past, said Ms. Song lacked candor. Ms. Cui said:
Given who she was, this wasn't enough. She was an important figure among the Red Guards, and so the demands should be higher than for ordinary people. It's meaningless to say you witnessed a murder and then say you don't know who the killers were.
Ms. Song's declaration of remorse also appeared unlikely to satisfy Ms. Bian's widower, Wang Jingyao, who for years has accused Ms. Song and others of disguising their part in the death of Ms. Bian on Aug. 5, 1966.
Ever since then, Mr. Wang, 93, has preserved his wife's memory and sought an honest reckoning from the perpetrators. He took photos of her battered body soon after she died and has kept a shrine to her in his home. In a telephone interview on Monday, he said he had heard about Ms. Song's apology but had not heard directly from her.
"She is a bad person, because of what she did," he said. "She and the others were supported by Mao Zedong. Mao was the source of all evil. He did so much that was bad. And it's not just an individual problem" of someone like Ms. Song, he added. "The entire Communist Party and Mao Zedong are also responsible."
Mao launched his Cultural Revolution to purge the authorities of perceived ideological foes, but initially its most ardent young supporters were the sons and daughters of powerful party officials, who saw the campaign as a chance to display and hone their revolutionary credentials. Ms. Song was among that early wave of Red Guards, who soon fell from Mao's grace and were often then attacked by other, even more radical groups.
She was among the band of students who formed the school's first group of Red Guards — youths pledged to enforce Mao's revolutionary will — who organized rallies to criticize and humiliate the school authorities and teachers accused of sabotaging the Cultural Revolution.
In a memoir published in 2012, Ms. Song said she and other Red Guard leaders at the school twice tried to stop students from assaulting Ms. Bian and other school staff who had been dragged to a school sports ground. Only later was Ms. Song told that Ms. Bian was close to death, Ms. Song wrote in "Remembrance," a Chinese magazine devoted to Cultural Revolution memoirs that circulates by email. A senior party official told Ms. Song soon after the killing to keep quiet about it, she wrote.
But other accounts, often citing Ms. Bian's widower, Mr. Wang, have indicated that Ms. Song played a bigger role in the death, by abetting or implicitly endorsing the attacks and conspicuously failing to help Ms. Bian afterward.
In the ensuing mayhem of the Cultural Revolution, many other deaths followed. In August and September 1966, nearly 1,800 people died in attacks instigated by Red Guards and other radicals across Beijing, according to party estimates published in 1980.
Two weeks after Ms. Bian died, Ms. Song was among the Red Guards taken up to meet Mao as he stood on top of Tiananmen — the "Gate of Heavenly Peace" overlooking the square, where throngs of adoring students had gathered.
That encounter with Mao brought Ms. Song fame among her peers, and newspapers said that, at Mao's suggestion, she took the name Yaowu, words indicating "Willing Fighter." But in 1968, Ms. Song's father fell from favor, and his family suffered.
After the Cultural Revolution, Ms. Song went to the United States to study and completed a doctorate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She worked for the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, Bloomberg News reported in a 2012 profile of the family. In 2003, she moved back to China, she said in her statement on Sunday.
The Beijing News asked Ms. Song how she would respond if people called her apology insincere. "If I wasn't prepared for that, I would not have stood up to do it," she said.
Didi Kirsten Tatlow contributed reporting.

Q. & A.: Wu Wei Reflects on Reform, Now and in the 1980s
Plans for a Replica of Titanic Floated in China

Without a doubt, Warner Bros. Animation have been on a roll in 2017 when it comes to their direct-to-video line of DC animated films, already having impressed audiences with the R-rated supernatural adventure Justice League Dark and the long overdue Teen Titans: The Judas Contract. As for what lies ahead, well, it looks like they're about to appeal to our nostalgic side with Batman and Harley Quinn.
I say that because this particular entry doesn't conform to any one comic book artist's style, nor does it to Phil Bourassa's New 52 inspired template. Actually, it aligns perfectly with The New Batman Adventures – or "the revamp episodes," as they're often referred to – giving a generous nod to what Bruce Timm established two decades ago. Truth be told, it makes sense to go in this creative direction when you consider that Timm himself is one of the creative minds behind this project.
Last month, a sneak peek found its way online, but now, WB is ready to take it to the next level with the first full trailer. As we can see above, Kevin Conroy and Loren Lester haven't lost a step as Batman and Nightwing, respectively, and newcomer Melissa Rauch (The Big Bang Theory) makes for a welcome addition as Harley Quinn.
Thankfully, not too much of the plot is spoiled aside from what we already know: Due to the threat presented by Poison Ivy and the Floronic Man, Batman and Nightwing seek out the help of the former villain's "BFF," Harley Quinn, making for the strangest of bedfellows. Granted, it could be the way the trailer is cut, but the film comes off as a bit more humorous than we may be used to seeing, which, quite frankly, suits Harley all the better.
As of now, Batman and Harley Quinn lacks a Blu-ray and DVD release date, but it stands to reason that it'll arrive in late July or early August given Warner Home Video's releasing habits of the past few years. Still, we wouldn't rule out a limited theatrical run ahead of that, as was the case last summer with Batman: The Killing Joke.

Anxiety in Iceland: An Interview with Cartoonist Hugleikur Dagsson
Andrea Turel Caccese / May 29, 2018
Hugleikur Dagsson, Icelandic cartoonist, graduated from Reykjavík University of Fine Arts. Known for his controversial humor Dagsson reveals to us some background of his work, including the anxiety that manifests itself every day and his way to deal with it.
A Classic Dagsson tattoo from an hardcore fan
I discovered that there is an italian page on Wikipedia about you. The page says that you did Reykjavík University of Fine Arts, that you published in Italy a book called "Cazzo ridi?" (Traduction of What the fuck are you laughing at?), that your first name is Þórarinn and means Eagle of Thor, that Hugleikur means "game of the mind" and that you worked in the cinema and in the theater. The question is legitimate: What would you say to the guy who wrote the information about you on Wikipedia anonymously?
I would say that is he is pretty much correct. He left out the part that I am in a boyband (I'm not kidding). And Dagsson means "Son of the Day".
Right now I'm watching one of your stand-up comedy shows on Youtube. What is the difference between being a cartoonist and creating a stand-up show?
I can do whatever I want in my cartoons. Because I'm not dependent on an audience reaction like I am on on stage. In the cartoons my characters do the talking. On stage I'm the one doing the talking. I can hide behind my cartoons but on stage all eyes are on me. So I can't become as dark on stage. But I try to be as dark as I can get away with up there.
What are the artists who have influenced your artistic path or at least led you to follow the artistic way?
Cartoonists: Johnny Ryan, Sam Henderson, Bill Watterson.
Comedians: Sara Silverman, TJ Miller, Eddie Izzard.
Directors: John Waters, Roger Corman, Kevin Smith.
How does an artist live in Iceland? Can you tell me about your day?
I wake up everyday with slight anxiety and try to start working at once to make the anxiety go away. Each workday is different. These days I'm writing a play and a comic book at the same time. The play is a heavy metal musical about norse mythology. The comic is an unauthorised remake of the film Groundhog Day.
The strengths of your comics are speed and references to pop culture. For example, like when you take the title of a song and reinterpret it by adding blood, penises, death and funny things.
Where do your ideas come from?
I wish I knew. The song title idea came first when I was listening to Elton John's "Don't let the sun go down on me". I had an image in my head of a guy getting a blowjob from the sun. Then I started wondering how many song I can defile in that way. When you've been working as an artist for a long time everything you think about becomes a potential project.
Have you ever had any complaints about your work?
Yes but not nearly as many as I'd like. My British publishers removed three jokes from one of my books. One was about McDonalds, one was about Scientology and one was about muslims. The muslim one wasn't Islamophobic at all. It was actually a joke about the stupidity of Islamophobia but the publishers didn't want to take any chances. It was pretty soon after the whole danish cartoonist death threat thingy.
In terms of time, how much is it used to design, create, publish and collect feedback in your comics? Can you talk about this process?
For the first five years of my career I drew a book of 200 cartoons every year. Now I do about a 100 cartoons every two years and publish a collection when I have enough.
Do you know Italian comics and artists? Have you ever been in Italy?
Unfortunately I've never been to Italy. But I'd love to go (hint hint, italian comic cons). I do love italian movies. Especially 70's Giallo.
When did you realize that doing comics like "Anarchy in the UK" could have made you as a real comic artist? Can you tell me how your life has changed since you published that comic online?
My life didn't change at all. I just started seeing the Anarchy picture online a lot. But nothing crazy. But it didn't make me rich or anything. I don't get why that one is my "hit". It's not my funniest work in my own humble opinion but It's alright I guess. I'm very flattered that people like it that much.
What is the thing you like most about your job?
That I can do what I want. I can basically go for any idea I have as long as it doesn't cost to much. And doing things cheap has always been my favourite challenge.
What do you hate about what you do?
Hate is a strong word but I dislike the attention sometimes. I live in a small country and being recognised in the streets sometimes makes me anxious. But that's a minor complaint.
What are your future projects?
I promised myself that I'd start directing my own live action comedy sketches this year and If I don't do it I'll never forgive myself. But I will be doing my cartoons and my stand up comedy as long as the jokes keep on coming.
Where can we find a collection of all your works?
At my webstore Dagsson.com. If you want my whole catalogue I suggest you buy "I hate dolphins", "My pussy is hungry", "You are nothing" and "Think of the Children". Also "Darkness surrounds me" which is being printed right now.
Thanks for this interview. At this moment how many degrees does the thermometer mark in Iceland?
I'm writing this as I sit in an airplane on it's way to Iceland. I'm told that the weather over there sucks right now. I'm actually looking forward to go back home to my sucky weather. It's easier to work when the weather is horrible.
This interview is also available in italian.

Divided into 9 districts called "municípios"
Luanda was founded in 1575 by Portuguese colonists who used the city mainly as a slave port and for exporting raw materials. During the civil war, millions of people flooded into the city to escape violence in other parts of the country. The huge influx of people put enormous pressure on Luanda's resources and infrastructure and large slums developed, which the locals call "bairros". Efforts are underway to enlarge the city and construction is booming.
Luanda is divided into an old and a new city, called the baixa and the cidade alta respectively. The old city is located next to the port and has many old buildings and narrow streets. It's here that you'll find most places of interest to visit in Luanda. The Fortaleza de Sao Miguel stands at the entrance to the bay and is the oldest surviving building in Luanda, dating from 1576. Nearby you'll find the Museu de Antropologia, a collection of artefacts from Angola's tribes housed in an old colonial building. There are also several beautiful old churches built in the 17th century hidden amongst the skyscrapers.
The majority of the population is African. There is a minority population of Portuguese, Brazilians and other Latin Americans as well as a Chinese and Vietnamese community. Before independence, the majority of people living in Luanda were Portuguese. They fled the country in droves after 1975, creating a skills shortage in Luanda that plunged the city into chaos.Today the majority of foreigners in Luanda are business people there to take advantage of the country's oil and diamond reserves.

Arteta explains title mindset as Arsenal sits top of the table
Arteta explains title mindset as Arsenal sits top of the Premier League table and the prospect of battling Manchester City
Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal are not getting carried away by their fine start to the season and the prospect of battling Manchester City for the Premier League title.
After eight games, Arsenal sit top of the table and have lost only once this season.

A 3-1 victory over Tottenham on Saturday kept Arsenal in the first place, with City closing the gap to one point yesterday by defeating Manchester United 6-3.
Arteta's side are next in action on Thursday, when they host Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League, before taking on Liverpool at the weekend.
However, Arteta insists the Gunners are keeping their feet on the ground and paying no attention to their lofty standing.
"It's great always looking at it and seeing the club where it is, in this position," said Arteta. "It's great, it gives you a great feeling obviously.
"But we are focused. It is a really hungry and humble team, believe me. We know where we are.
"There is nothing that we have done yet, and there are still a lot of things to improve, and that's the direction that we are taking.
"We are just at the start, and we are really happy with where we are, and understanding that you cannot control [everything]."
Ramsdale also weighed on the matter being wary about people getting carried away, with the Gunners facing eight more matches this month during a busy period.
"You lot are thinking about that, we are just going into every game with a big smile on our face trying to win the game," said Ramsdale.
"When we win, we celebrate and if we don't then we evaluate it and go again.
"We're a young team and literally we are going into a game trying to enjoy ourselves and winning. Then we'll see where that takes us.
"This month before the World Cup we have three different competitions, which we want to win in every single one of them, and then we will see where we are at the break because at the end of the day we want to win trophies.
"But we're eight games in. Something always happens with the likes of Man City. A few years ago they were 14th at Christmas and went on some crazy run.
"We're just loving the journey at the minute and long may that continue."

Q: Split string with zsh as in Python In python:
s = '1::3'
a = s.split(':')
print(a[0]) # '1' good
print(a[1]) # '' good
print(a[2]) # '3' good

How can I achieve the same effect with zsh?
The following attempt fails:
string="1::3"
a=(${(s/:/)string})
echo $a[1] # 1
echo $a[2] # 3 ?? I want an empty string, as in Python

A: The solution is to use the @ modifier, as indicated in the zsh docs:
string="1::3"
a=("${(@s/:/)string}") # @ modifier

By the way, if one has the choice of the delimiter, it's much easier and less error prone to use a newline as a delimiter. The right way to split the lines with zsh is then:
a=("${(f)string}")

I don't know whether or not the quotes are necessary here as well...

A: This will work in both zsh (with setopt shwordsplit or zsh -y) and Bash (zero-based arrays):
s="1::3"
saveIFS="$IFS"
IFS=':'
a=(${s})
IFS="$saveIFS"

Russian style in clothes
03-02-2018 Beauty
If you visit America, you can hardly distinguish Russian tourists from indigenous people by clothing, and on the Canary Islands our compatriots are often visible a mile away, as in France. What is Russian clothing style? We all, starting with the priest-kings, wanted to look bright and "rich." That is why they used to combine gold and red in their traditional Russian costumes, and even finish all this beauty with fur. Imperial Rozma Russian fashion has always been inherent, with the exception of the Soviet era. But it did not kill women in Russian women - they learned to sew and tried to be different from the hundreds of identical "citizens".
How do we find our trendy vector in this historical bustle? At first we were like Ivan the Terrible, then like Peter the First, and then like Brezhnev. Disappeared polls courses cutting and sewing, a serious hobby for knitting. All creative things in haste, the scale is gone, because everything can be bought. Today, you can not sew anything, do not knit anything and do not embroider. It is even possible that many modern girls have little idea how the hoop looks, and how to work for them ... Today's Russian style is European and North American, everyone is trying to look like a "West". Nowadays, you can choose who to be, but will we be ourselves?
Russian theme in the world of fashion
Russian style of clothing - sundresses, kokoshniki, couplings, jackets and the like. Of course, we ourselves do not wear outdated clothes for a long time, but in fashion houses ideas for creating Russian collections still hover. Paul Poiret and Yves Saint Laurent were the ancestors of the "a la rus" collections, which the world saw and admired. Denis Semachev, Konstantin Gaidai, Alexey and Anna Borodulina are our "propagandists" in the fashion world. And what about Vyacheslav Zaitsev? If foreigners were seduced by Russian mystery, then Russian designers simply sang once again what they knew well. And they continue to draw inspiration for their future "patriotic" collections from the past of our history. Do we know what the real Russian style in clothes is?
For a long time no one, except the Russian army and tourists, takes the hats with earflaps seriously. The first because of its funktsionalnosti (it still saves from the cold), and the second fun and memory for the sake of. In the minds of a Soviet person, Ushanka or another one of its variants - a "fawn cap" is the last century. But Russian and foreign designers stubbornly demonstrate this accessory at fashion weeks. And not only they - the secular dandy is also capable of that, after all, earflaps are a great way to attract attention. And not only she - budenovka and kokoshnik, who so fond of fashion houses Chanel and Kenzo.
Everything that designers are doing in the direction of Russian subjects attracts attention. Another thing is that we ourselves do not take in our wardrobe a foreign "a la russe", even if it is of high quality. And why? After all, the Russian style is always in fashion, this is our everything. Many states do not have their own historical tardies, songs and robes, and we have checked all this for thousands of years. So why not use the customized solutions of designers, do not braid a braid and not put on a bright sundress, adding accessories to it? Moreover, it is much easier to find Russian clothes in Russia than a real Western brand.
So, let's break up, who is such a real Russian beauty? Remember the fairy tale "Frost", here they are classic Russian women, ready to endure and carry "their own cross." Today's lady has changed and become stronger and stronger, and some of them can be crippled by this very cross. We all need from time to time to add a bit of femininity and defenselessness to the image. Such an effect can be achieved with the help of a Russian sundress embroidered with bright patterns.
We dress in Russian style
Wicker shoes, embroidered sundresses, lace, floor skirts in colors and ornaments, scarves are elements of the Russian image. Of the accessories - woven bags, shawls, beads, large earrings, various belts.
There is one "but" in all this bright Russian fashion. Some girls who want to actively use the Russian image, may slightly overdo it. After all, all Russian fashion is built on the contrast of bright colors - large prints, scope and a riot of colors. So you need to be careful not to turn into a doll in the literal sense of the word. Not all go Russian motives. For example, a scarf.
Scarves are the only accessories that are actively used by Russian women. We love and wear them. Pavlo-Pasadian shawls are now popular both here and on Hollywood hills. Periodically, the local actresses there are captured paparatsy who in Russian scarf, who in Karakul "Brezhnev" hat. It is possible to combine a scarf with fitting jeans, short coats and high boots. But remember, if you have a handkerchief, the rest of the gamma should be more restrained, one thing should be the accent.
Where can I find clothes in Russian style?
Clothes in the Russian style can be found in the well-known designers Vyacheslav Zaitsev and Denis Simachev. Alena Lourdes, and the Yana and Anastasia Shevchenko duet - YanaStasia also actively use Russian themes in clothing lines.
Even sports brands today surprise us - Bosco sport and Stayer revived Russian motifs in their clothes, and the clothes immediately became brighter and more popular even among those who are not keen on sports. And what about our teams, they are now visible at every competition.
All famous designers are not without reason again and again inspired by Russian motives and culture - it is diverse and diverse. You can always do something new from an existing one, and moreover, for a long time. This is what it means to be always in trend - Russian culture will never go out of fashion. Ushanka, matryoshka, balalaika - this is how foreigners see it. But they also see Russian girls and admire them. Do not forget that Russian girls are the most beautiful in the world.
In our country there is no need to dress every day in everything Russian, but one thing is certain: in the closet of every Russian maiden there should be a sundress, accessories and shoes "a la rus". And if there are furs and muffles hanging there, you should be a real boyar daughter in them!

DHL (, ) — международная компания экспресс-доставки грузов и документов, лидер мирового и российского логистических рынков.

Компания была основана в Сан-Франциско в 1969 году для транспортировки документов между Сан-Франциско и Гонолулу, однако вскоре DHL распространила свою сеть на весь мир
. В настоящее время входит в состав Группы компаний Deutsche Post DHL, де-факто являясь национальным почтовым оператором Германии.  Штаб-квартира компании расположена в Бонне (Германия).

История
Основана 20 сентября 1969 года как курьерская служба для перевозки почты между Сан-Франциско и Гонолулу. Название компании образовано по первым буквам фамилий основателей —  (Adrian Dalsey),  (Larry Hillblom) и  (Robert Lynn).

Прежде всего компания была заинтересована в международной доставке, однако, открывая представительства в различных странах мира, постепенно выходила и на внутренние рынки (к примеру, открытие сервиса по доставке в границах США в 1983 году). DHL агрессивно расширялась, предоставляя свои услуги в том числе и в тех странах, куда ещё не выходили её конкуренты, включая Советский Союз, Восточный блок, Ирак, Иран, КНР, Вьетнам и КНДР.

В 1998 году Deutsche Post начала приобретать акции DHL. К Январю 2002 года Deutsche Post владела контрольным пакетом акций, а в Июле 2002 года окончательно приобрела DHL, сделав её частью своего экспресс-подразделения (DHL Express) и распределив оставшиеся ресурсы между другими подразделениями и дочерними компаниями Deutsche Post. В данный момент DHL Express делит свой известный бренд — DHL — с другими подразделениями Deutsche Post, такими, как DHL Global Forwarding, , DHL Freight и DHL Parcel.

Собственники и руководство
DHL, наряду с Deutsche Post, входит в состав Группы компаний Deutsche Post DHL (DP DHL), которая является её основным акционером.

Председатель совета директоров компании — Франк Аппель.

Деятельность

DHL Express доставляет срочные грузы и документы в более чем 120 000 городов в 220 странах и регионах. У компании более 84 000 офисов, порядка 34 000 машин для доставки документов и грузов и более 260 самолетов. Помимо DHL Express под брендом DHL действуют еще четыре дочерние компании:

 DHL Global Mail — почтовые услуги, прямая почтовая рассылка ();
 DHL Global Forwarding — авиаперевозки, морской фрахт, мультимодальные перевозки;
  — сухопутные перевозки
 DHL Parcel.

Общая численность персонала — 380 тысяч человек (по состоянию на 2019 год).

Компания является мировым лидером экспресс-доставки, контролируя (по состоянию на 2018 год) 39 % рынка, у её ближайших конкурентов UPS и FedEx — 30 % и 22 % соответственно.

DHL в России
DHL вышла на рынок России в 1984 году, став первой международной курьерской компанией, пришедшей в СССР. В 1990-х годах были открыты первые региональные офисы компании в Санкт-Петербурге, Новосибирске, Владивостоке, Тольятти.

Сегодня DHL является лидером российского рынка экспресс-доставки, обгоняя ближайших конкурентов более, чем в два раза: 24 % рынка у DHL, 12 % — у DPD, 11 % — у Pony Express, 8 % — у СПСР-Экспресс и т. д.. 130 офисов компании работают более чем в 120 городах страны, обслуживая более 6000 населенных пунктов в Российской Федерации; транспортный парк DHL в России — свыше 950 единиц. Компания является зарегистрированным таможенным брокером.

Центральный офис DHL в России находится в Москве, там же находится один из основных сортировочных центров компании в России. Второй крупный центр обработки грузов находится на юге Москвы. DHL является единственным экспресс-оператором, имеющим возможность перевозить с помощью собственных чартерных рейсов до 32 тонн грузов из России в Европу ежедневно. 6 дней в неделю по маршруту Москва-Лейпциг-Москва летает Туполев-204С; 5 дней в неделю из Санкт-Петербурга в Хельсинки и обратно следует Антонов-26. Помимо собственных рейсов, доставка осуществляется и международными авиакомпаниями, с которыми у DHL имеются долгосрочные партнерские отношения: 15 ежедневных рейсов используется для доставки грузов в Россию и 25 — для доставки грузов из России.

С 12 апреля 2010 года, в связи с ужесточением требований таможенных органов к сопроводительной документации, DHL прекратила приём и доставку грузов физическим лицам из-за рубежа в Россию (за исключением доставки из некоторых интернет-магазинов, список которых не разглашается). На доставку документов данное ограничение не распространяется.

29 июля 2022 года DHL объявила о прекращении оказания услуг по экспресс-доставке грузов и документов внутри Российской Федерации с 1 сентября 2022 года.
В условиях санкций планируется закрытие складских площадей в России.

Director Vignesh Shivn has posted a note on his official social blogging page, about his feeling after watching Baahubali 2.
1. Paying just 120 Rupees to witness and experience such a marvelous show - a collection box or the producer's account number or address should have been available for the extra payment.
2. The length of the film was too short!!! No one wanted the experience to get over in just just just 3 hours!
3. Too much detailing and perfection - Shattering most of the filmmakers' confidence, head weight and thought process about their own products.
4. It shouldn't have been the conclusion - Inclusion of another 10 parts would have given us the feeling that we are up for more miracles on screen, in the near future.
5. Tough times ahead - Too difficult a benchmark being set! Don't know how many more years it will take to beat all these records in the history of Tamil Cinema.
Now, do you get the mistakes of Baahubali 2, according to Vignesh Shivn?
People looking for online information on Baahubali 2, Rajamouli, Vignesh Shivn will find this news story useful.

UN Forum on Business and Human Rights, Day 2: A Compass for Big Tech
December 1, 2022 by lotfitib
This is the second of three daily updates from the UN Forum on Business and Human Rights 2022. The second day offered to redefine tech companies as part of infrastructure – similar to railroads and supply chains – which governs people's lives, and a new 'UNGPs Compass' aimed at doing just that.
The complexity of rapidly changing technologies dissuades many users – not to mention human rights defenders – from believing that there is even the possibility that standards will be set to which "big tech companies" might be forced to conform. .
As technology was at the center of the concerns of this second day of
Genevafamiliar stories have emerged of authoritarian governments using Western technologies to impose censorship or to curb protests and of tech companies themselves being part of a new culture of surveillance.
Obstacles to ensuring that technologies meet UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
(UNGP) reflect concerns about the perceived difficulty and questionable desirability of providing regulation of the internet and all of its uses.
Technology governance
However, governance applies to technology as it does to all sectors – with regulation, standard setting, industry initiatives and public accountability applying to this sector as well.
Already tech giants including Facebook, Google, LinkedIn,
Microsoft, nokia, Orange and Vodafone formed the Global Network Initiative — which has produced principles, guidelines and tools enabling companies to assess the risks to human rights in new technologies.
The UN Special Rapporteurs on Freedom of opinion and expression
and on Privacy have also written reports outlining technology industry standards.
It was taken a little further yesterday, the first day, when the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights unveiled a new project »UNGP compass– which will provide authoritative guidance at the UN level on how technology can and should comply with the Guiding Principles.
There is a need to redefine tech companies as part of infrastructure – like railroads and supply chains – as regulatory mechanisms themselves that govern people's lives and in a context where there is an asymmetry of information between companies and citizens, according to Lisa Hsin of Oxfordit is
Bonavero Institute, who participated in the development of the orientation project. Each of these has an implication for regulation, she said.
Concrete examples
The Forum heard concrete examples of regulation — including Europeit is
Digital Services Act, in force since the beginning of the month, which obliges IT platforms to assess the risks from the user's point of view. A current bill in the Brazilian Senate which seeks to address widespread concerns about the perpetuation of bias and discrimination in decisions made by artificial intelligence was also explained.
It has already been estimated that 85% of customer interactions are handled by machines rather than humans, using chatbots and self-service technologies. This transforms the markets and therefore the need for market rules.
However, the researcher Clara Keller warned that current legislative initiatives still reflect a principles-based approach – which she said should be replaced by the rights-based approach, to enable users to be informed of the impact on them and to have access to remedies when their rights have been violated.
The fury around the so-called "Facebook Papersshowed the need for more rigorous protection of whistleblowers, according to
Gaya Khandhaihead of technology and human rights at the Business and Human Rights Resource Center. Indeed, it is ironic that companies that use free speech to defend their actions are all too willing to try to silence those who seek to criticize them.
The digital revolution has harnessed the huge positive potential of expanding distance learning opportunities through Africa; provide closed blockchain models that insure against supply chain breaches, from illegal fishing to conflict minerals; and the application of big data, which is transforming our ability to help detect and prevent the causes of climate change and the resulting humanitarian disasters.
The lesson to be learned from this week's debate, however, is that digital empowerment must go hand in hand with digital innovation; it is only by providing systems for individuals to hold providers accountable that equality can be furthered, not diminished.
The new 'UNGP Compass' will be posted online within the next two weeks, with full details for public comment before they are finalized.
Strong points
Other highlights of day two included a session on investor responsibilities, during which Domini Impact Investments' Mary Beth Gallagher advocated for the financial industry to meet directly with people whose human rights have been affected by the companies in which they invest.
The annual session on long-term consultations for the creation of a
Binding Treaty on Business and Human Rights was both busier and more constructive this year. The Head of Business and Human Rights for the
German Foreign Office, Wolfgang Bindsileven announced that his government would organize a conference next year to support an international agreement around access to remedies.
Continuing with the theme of the whistleblower, a session on the role of human rights defenders demonstrated their importance in protecting labor and environmental rights and in the fight against corruption.
However, it was the tech session that struck the spirit the most this week, to bring rightsholders to the center of the deliberations. If it can apply to Cloudthe internet of things and the
Metaverseit really can apply anywhere.

Manufacturing Process of Copper
Maximilian Stock Ltd. / Getty Images
Copper processing is a complex process that involves many steps as the manufacturer processes the ore from its raw, mined state into a purified form for use in many industries. Copper is typically extracted from oxide and sulfide ores that contain between 0.5 and 2.0% copper.
The refining techniques employed by copper producers depend on the ore type, as well as other economic and environmental factors. Currently, about 80% of global copper production is extracted from sulfide sources.
Regardless of the ore type, mined copper ore must first be concentrated to remove gangue or unwanted materials embedded in the ore. The first step in this process is crushing and powdering ore in a ball or rod mill.
Sulfide Copper Ores
Virtually all sulfide-type copper ores, including chalcocite (Cu2S), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) and covellite (CuS), are treated by smelting. After crushing the ore to a fine powder, it is concentrated by froth flotation, which requires mixing the powdered ore with reagents that combine with the copper to make it hydrophobic. The mixture is then bathed in water along with a foaming agent, which encourages frothing.
Removing Impurities
Jets of air are shot up through the water forming bubbles that float the water repellent copper particles to the surface. The froth, which contains about 30% copper, 27% iron and 33% sulfur, is skimmed off and taken for roasting.
If economical, lesser impurities that may be present in the ore, such as molybdenum, lead, gold, and silver, can also be processed and removed at this time through selective flotation. At temperatures between 932-1292°F (500-700°C), much of the sulfur content remaining is burned off as sulfide gas, resulting in a calcine mix of copper oxides and sulfides.
Creating Blister Copper
Fluxes are added to the calcine copper, which is now about 60% pure before it is heated again, this time to 2192°F (1200C°C). At this temperature, the silica and limestone fluxes combine with unwanted compounds, such as ferrous oxide, and bring them to the surface to be removed as slag. The remaining mixture is a molten copper sulfide referred to as matte.
The next step in the refining process is to oxidize liquid matte in order to remove iron to burn off sulfide content as sulfur dioxide. The result is 97-99%, blister copper. The term blister copper comes from the bubbles produced by sulfur dioxide on the surface of the copper.
Producing Copper Cathodes
In order to produce market-grade copper cathodes, blister copper must first be cast into anodes and treated electrolytically. Immersed in a tank of copper sulfate and sulphuric acid, along with a pure copper cathode starter sheet, the blister copper becomes the anode in a galvanic cell. Stainless steel cathode blanks are also used at some refineries, such as Rio Tinto's Kennecott Copper Mine in Utah.
As a current is introduced, copper ions begin to migrate to the cathode, or starter sheet, forming 99.9-99.99% pure copper cathodes.
Oxide Copper Ores
After crushing oxide-type copper ores, such as azurite (2CuCO3 · Cu(OH)3), brochantite (CuSO4), chrysocolla (CuSiO3 · 2H2O) and cuprite (Cu2O), dilute sulfuric acid is applied to the surface of the material on leaching pads or in leaching tanks. As the acid trickles through the ore, it combines with the copper, producing a weak copper sulfate solution.
The so-called 'pregnant' leach solution (or pregnant liquor) is then processed using a hydrometallurgical process known as solvent extraction and electro-winning (or SX-EW).
Solvent Extraction
Solvent extraction involves stripping the copper from the pregnant liquor using an organic solvent, or extractant. During this reaction, copper ions are exchanged for hydrogen ions, allowing the acid solution to be recovered and re-used in the leaching process.
The copper-rich aqueous solution is then transferred to an electrolytic tank where the electro-winning part of the process occurs. Under electrical charge, copper ions migrate from the solution to copper starter cathodes that are made from high purity copper foil.
Other elements that may be present in the solution, such as gold, silver, platinum, selenium, and tellurium, collect in the bottom of the tank as slimes and can be recovered through further processing.
Electro-won copper cathodes are of equal or greater purity than those produced by traditional smelting but require only one-quarter to one-third the amount of energy per unit of production.
Development of SX-EW
The development of SX-EW has allowed copper extraction in areas where sulfuric acid is not available or cannot be produced from sulfur within the copper ore body, as well as from old sulfide minerals that have been oxidized by exposure to air or bacterial leaching and other waste materials that would have previously been disposed of unprocessed.
Copper can alternatively be precipitated out of the pregnant solution via cementation using scrap iron. However, this produces a less pure copper than SX-EW and, so, is less often employed.
In-Situ Leaching (ISL)
In-situ leaching has also been used to recover copper from suitable areas of ore deposits.
This process involves drilling boreholes and pumping a leachate solution - usually sulfuric or hydrochloric acid - into the ore body. The leachate dissolves copper minerals before it is recovered via a second borehole. Further refining using SX-EW or chemical precipitation produces marketable copper cathodes.
Low-Grade Copper Ore
ISL is often conducted on low-grade copper ore in backfilled stopes (also known as stope leaching) ore in caved areas of underground mines.
The copper ores most amenable to ISL include the copper carbonates malachite and azurite, as well as tenorite and chrysocolla.
Global mine production of copper is estimated to have exceeded 19 million metric tons in 2017. The primary source of copper is Chile, which produces approximately one-third of the total world supply. Other large producers include the US, China, and Peru.
Producing Copper from Recycled Sources
Due to the high value of pure copper, a large portion of copper production now comes from recycled sources. In the US, recycled copper accounts for about 32% of annual supply. Globally, this number is estimated to be closer to 20%.
The largest corporate producer of copper worldwide is the Chilean state enterprise Codelco. Codelco produced 1.84 million metric tonnes of refined copper in 2017. Other large producers include Freeport-McMoran Copper & Gold Inc., BHP Billiton Ltd., and Xstrata Plc.

The head, the decapitated head, the trump head, infamous to the internet and what is known as "society" today. It was a piece of art gone wrong, a mural of ketchup and cardboard that infuriated an entire portion of jackasses known as one whole political party, as well as the jackass known as their leader.
Kathy Griffin, 56, 110 pounds, tried to make a formal apology at a press conference yesterday, but couldn't quite keep from being, well, a comedian. She laugh-cried at the politician's family trying to "ruin" her, and bucked like a horse, rearing her teeth, when she said "they messed with the wrong redhead." Her fake tears made everyone in the live chat room basically say that were watching a set, and that the entire event was staged and scripted.
Griffin's Lawyer, Lisa Bloom, came to fight. With one viewer asking, "Is this even a real lawyer?" The answer is obviously no, but she was a better actress than Griffin by far in this three-ring-circus of a press conference.
Trump did not comment as he was escorted away by Melania, who still, would not hold his hand.
I genuinely love the stuff and comment's on laughs end.
I hate this kind of shite, so just accept that I'm right, wankers.
I might think about this later when I'm doing something else. But I might not.

Editorial: Austria's New Leader Came to Power on Anti-Refugee Sentiment
The 31 one-year old campaigned on closing Austria's Borders and implementing other Far Right policies.
Author: Ashrita Rau
On Sunday October 15th, Austria elected 31 year old Sebastian Kurz to be its next chancellor. Kurz, who was appointed Foreign Minister of the country at age 27 (becoming the youngest person to ever hold the position) ran his campaign on a platform that advocated for the closing of Austria's Borders. Kurz and his followers believe that the 90,000 refugees that arrived in Austria during the past two years have stolen social benefits that should have been given to Austrians, and his anti-refugee sentiment continues to gather increasing support.
The refugee crisis has caused problems in Austrian politics. In May of 2016, Chancellor Werner Faymann resigned suddenly due to tensions created by his refugee policies. At first a supporter of opening borders to refugees, Faymann changed positions after receiving criticisms from the right. However, his establishment of border fences and promise to crack down on refugees failed to do enough to please right-wing politicians and caused Faymann's own party to view him as a turncoat, consequently prompting his resignation.
Kurz takes an even more hardline stance on refugees. During his term as Foreign Minister, he advocated for closing the Balkan route for refugees, pushed for a ban on burqas, and supported the idea that "immigrants should receive less state support for their children than native-born Austrians." His campaign is infused with anti-Islamic sentiment, and many of its' views echo that of the far-right Freedom Party, which was founded by ex-Nazis in the 1950s.
The campaign that Kurz ran has been compared to that of Emmanuel Macron, who managed to win the presidency in France with the new political party En Marche! In contrast to Macron, however, Kurz did not create his own political party—he revamped an already existing party (The People's Party) and branded it around himself just as much as around anti-migrant ideas. The new name of his political party is "The Sebastian Kurz list—the New People's Party."
Apparently a charismatic personality, Kurz found success by centering the political party around himself. 42% of the people who voted for the New People's Party did so because of Kurz, as compared to only 7% of Freedom Party voters who voted for the party because of its' leader (Stache) and 20% of Social Democrats who voted for their party because of Chancellor Christian Kern.
Kurz is a sign that the apparent rejections of far-right thinking demonstrated by the election of Macron over National Front leader Marine LePen and the failure of Geert Wilders to win the presidential election in the Netherlands may have been abnormalities. By using the refugee-crisis, far-right politicians are continuing to gain traction in Europe. The question now is whether or not Kurz will align with the Freedom Party or reject ideas of the Extreme Right and stick to a more centralist political agenda.

Biografia
Juan Bautista Topete y Carballo nacque a San Andrés Tuxtla (vedi Diocesi di San Andrés Tuxtla), appartenente al municipio di Tlacotalpan nello Stato di Veracruz nell'attuale Messico allora ancora per poco tempo dominio spagnolo. Era figlio di Juan Bautista Topete y Viaña, e di Clara Carballo Romay. Trascorse la sua infanzia con i suoi genitori a L'Avana.

Entrato giovane nella Marina militare fece presto carriera compiendo svariate missioni e partecipando alle guerre carliste.

Cominciò ad occuparsi di politica, aderendo al partito della Unione Liberale, dopo la sua brillante spedizione navale in Africa che gli valse la nomina di Comandante dell'arsenale de la Carraca di Cadice.

Nel 1862 fu eletto deputato a Cadice.

Partecipò nel 1864 alla campagna di Perù e Cile nell'ambito della cosiddetta Guerra del Pacifico e al suo rientro in Spagna fu nominato Comandante del porto di Cadice. Da questa posizione organizzò la sollevazione della Marina in accordo con i generali Juan Prim e Francisco Serrano diventando così uno dei tre principali artefici della Rivoluzione del 1868. Nel Governo provvisorio del 1868 fu Ministro della Marina, incarico da cui si dimise nel 1870 opponendosi all'insediamento di Amedeo I sul trono di Spagna. Accettò però la Presidenza del Consiglio ad interim. Durante la Prima Repubblica fu incarcerato per qualche giorno essendo contrario ai federalisti. Nel 1874 sotto la presidenza del suo amico generale Francisco Serrano ebbe di nuovo il Ministero della Marina.

Sotto la presidenza del generale Juan Prim prima e poi di Práxedes Mateo Sagasta tornò a occupare il Ministero di Oltremare. Nel 1879 si assoggettò a riconoscere il regime monarchico di Alfonso XII e nel 1881 fu nominato vice Ammiraglio. Fu contrario alla restaurazione borbonica.

Morì a Madrid all'età di 64 anni il 27 ottobre 1885.

Russ & Daughters, An Appetizing Story
Most archives focus on paper as a form of transmission: AJHS alone has 30 million pages of documents. But a store, led by four overlapping generations of a family, is also a vessel of history, capturing century-old practices. The Russ family members relay stories of herring sellers and customers for more than a century. Knowing how to slice lox thin is important; just as important is knowing when to innovate, what to preserve, and staying attuned to customers past, present and future.
"RUSS & DAUGHTERS: AN APPETIZING STORY" explores how the family, over four generations and 105 years, has balanced innovation with tradition, and has moved beyond the Lower East Side without abandoning the LES culture. The exhibit celebrates the legendary Jewish appetizing store's role in shaping New York's culture and culinary heritage.
"For generations, my family has worked tirelessly to represent the Jewish immigrant community and add our own traditions to New York's food culture. This is now iconic New York food, and Russ & Daughters is quintessential New York,"
- Josh Russ Tupper, 4th Generation Co-Owner of Russ & Daughters.
"We're honored to have our family's history preserved at one of the foremost archives in the country. The process of archiving and creating the exhibition allowed us to see how our family story ties in to the larger history of the Jewish American experience,"
- Niki Russ Federman, 4th Generation Co-Owner of Russ & Daughters.
The exhibit will feature original materials from the Russ & Daughters family archive, placed in historical context alongside elements of the AJHS collection. Visitors will be able to listen to previously-unheard audio clips from the Second Generation Hattie Russ Gold and Anne Russ Federman, known as the "Sturgeon Queens," and see historic photographs of the store and the family, and view posters featuring Yiddish theater performers Molly Picon and Aaron Lebedoff, who were regular customers. The exhibit focuses on the story behind the food, and invites visitors to contribute their own food stories, which will be preserved in the Russ & Daughters collection at AJHS. Visitors can also don the famous R&D white coat uniforms and pose behind a replica of the famed appetizing counter.
