Welcome Remarks and GISU Progress Report at the December 2, 2020 Council Meeting of the Alliance
Be more Inclusive and Open,
Seek Cooperation and Development
Guangzhou University President Wei Minghai
Honorable council members, presidents, distinguished guests, colleagues and friends,
Good Afternoon! In this golden autumn and harvest season, on this beautiful campus of Guangzhou University located in Guangzhou, the Flower City of China, I would like to extend my warm greetings to all the guests attending the meeting.
On behalf of Guangzhou University, I would like to express my congratulations on the opening of this Council Meeting and extend my sincere welcome to all the council members, presidents, guests and friends. Welcome is also extneded to the representatives from National Technical University of Ukraine and Durban University of Technology that would like to join our Alliance today.
I will now report to you on the work of the GISU Alliance.
1. Stand together to combat the Covid-19 pandemic and build the community of shared future for mankind
The 2020 Council Meeting is convened under special circumstances while the Covid-19 pandemic is still raging throughout the world where it has brought suffering to people from different countries. During the most critical moment of China's prevention and control of this pandemic, we received letters of solidarity from our member universities such as Incheon National University, University of Padua and Western Sydney University. While the situation in China greatly improved but the virus spread rapidly globally, Guangzhou University arranged to quickly ship masks and other protective equipment to our sister-city universities. "A friend in need is a friend indeed" and our friendship has been enhanced in our cooperation to combat the pandemic.
2. Jointly organize the competition and forge new paths for student exchanges among Alliance members
As an important task of the Alliance in 2020, the first Urban Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition has received positive feedback and active participation from our member universities. Against the backdrop of the prevention and control of the pandemic, we took the occasion of the competition to explore and forge a new way to promote youth exchanges among member universities and among Guangzhou International Sister Cities.
I am pleased to announce that after over four months of preliminaries and semi-finals, ten teams from four member universities, including Tampere University, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou Medical University and Incheon National University, entered into our final. In the online final competition yesterday afternoon, the Medified team from Tampere University won the gold award and five other teams from Guangzhou University and Tampere University won the silver and bronze awards. We would like to congratulate these excellent students and show our appreciation for their creativity and innovation!
3. Overcome difficulties and promote cooperation to seek common sustainable development
In 2020, we have implemented fruitful joint training of students and scientific collaboration among our member universities. Guangzhou University and the University of Padua have admitted a total of 39 students in the joint PhD training program since 2016. According to our latest statistics, nearly 570 scientific research articles have been jointly published by scholars with their counterparts from the GISU member universities in 2020. Among them, scholars from the University of Padua have collaborated with their counterparts of GISU member universities as co-authors of 201 articles, Middle East Technical University as co-authors of 135 articles, University of Coimbra as co-authors of 63 articles, Linkoping University as co-authors of 45 articles and Guangzhou University as co-authors of 38 articles. In addition, scholars from Guangzhou University and the University of Padua have won funding from the European Union for two scientific research projects, funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Italian Ministry of Culture and Heritage for three collaborative projects.
In general, despite the pandemic over the past year, the work of the Alliance has proceeded as scheduled and reached our expected goals with the joint efforts and active cooperation among our GISU member universities.
Ten days ago, Guangzhou University celebrated the 20th anniversary of its merger. We have successively received more than 100 congratulatory letters and videos from both domestic and international universities including the GISU member universities which recognized the progress Guangzhou University has made over the past 20 years and extended best wishes for its future development. On behalf of Guangzhou University, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you.
"Opening-up in running a school" is an important education philosophy of Guangzhou University. At a new starting point of 20 years since its merger, Guangzhou University will accelerate its pace of in-depth opening-up. In the face of the pandemic, universities must shoulder their responsibilities to not only overcome difficulties and cultivate people but to also implement scientific research to combat the pandemic and promote global exchange and cooperation with a spirit of openness and inclusiveness.
In the post-pandemic era, universities should be more open, inclusive and cooperative. We are pleased to see our colleagues from the University of Padua, University of Tampere, University of Western Sydney and Guangzhou University have jointly proposed initiatives of collaboration in intelligent manufacturing, digital economy, entrepreneurship courses and other areas which will definitely deepen the cooperation among GISU Alliance members. The Ukrainian National University of Science and Technology and Durban University of Technology would like to join the Alliance this year and, with the participation of more like-minded friends, we are even more confident in fulfilling our due responsibilities and following the development of win-win cooperation.
Dear Council members, presidents, guests, friends, let's remain committed to the principles of openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and collaboration. Let us build the GISU Alliance into an outstanding example of exchange and collaboration among international universities which will further contribute to the sustainable development of our cities and the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Finally, I wish all council members, leaders, guests and friends good health and all the best.

We are a group of RC car enthusiasts that created this site out of love toward RCs. Join us and enter the world of RC vehicles.
Every person that joins our group can ask for help from veterans. We are an open and friendly group, and every question will be met with answers that will satisfy the person that made the inquiry.
We organize RC events on a regular basis. Every member of our group can become a part of the event as long as they have a vehicle that fits the criteria of that particular event.
Our members have a page on the site where they can list their RC vehicles for trade. They can also contact other members directly (if the other party is interested in a trade) and trade with them.
Our network of members and other contacts makes it easy to find spare parts for the majority of the RC models. The price of these parts is lower than on the open market.
It's easy to buy a useless RC car if you don't know anything about the market. The first step for you as someone who knows nothing is to join us. You will then find a lot of info about the hobby and people will explain how things work.
We will be glad to talk with you and give you an insight into RC racing and vehicles. You will be able to review and choose beginner cars that are easy to maintain and run, and our members will be there to help you decide. The rest of is on you, whether you choose to stick with our group or go solo.


Besides the issues with my neck, back and legs as a result of the accident, I also received a concussion, brain injury. The concussion wasn't just forward and back, but also to the left and right. As a result, I immediately lost a good part of my hearing in both ears. I also have a constant headache behind my eyes and at the back of my head, which, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being an ice cream freeze, would be a 2. I can't run, as running jars my head and increases the headache to unbearable levels. I need to weak soft sole shoes to lessen the impact when walking. If I shake my head, I get the same reaction. Added to that is a loss of memory, like how to spell words that I know I know, or in mistyping others Sometimes I look at or hear a word and I'm at a loss to know what it means. Another example is seeing and picking up an apple, but calling it an orange. I lost my ability to whistle and enunciate certain words like celery. I had my jaw dislocated for 15 months. All these symptoms are caused by damage and inflammation of the brain and connective tissue. I had MRI and Cat scan, and while they identified certain areas as "mild patchy white areas, they suggested they were related to age.

indoor navigation: emerging tech revolution
WHY IT'S THE 'NEXT BIG THING' FOR SMARTPHONES It's impossible to deny the nigh-on revolutionary effect that Global Positioning System (GPS) technology and all of the features built upon it have had on our lives. It has been instrumental in improving military accuracy, as well as bringing a new level of sophistication to transportation and traffic features around the globe. Now, though, it seems that another navigation revolution is at hand: the emergence of indoor positioning technology. At the most basic level, indoor positioning – or indoor navigation – can be understood as a shrinking of GPS and related technology to indoor spaces. This raises the possibility of its everyday use for mapping, showing and exploring buildings' internal compartments, including the likes of public buildings, shopping malls, big stores, parks, garages, and…
report: facebook considering its own cryptocurrency for payments
The Wall Street Journal reports that Facebook plans a cryptocurrency-based payment system that it could launch for billions of users worldwide. The system would use a digital coin similar to bitcoin, but different in that Facebook would aim to keep the coin's value stable. Bitcoin and similar cryptocurrencies have been susceptible to wild fluctuations in value. It could reportedly undermine credit cards by sidestepping the processing fees that generate much of their revenue. The Journal report cited unidentified people familiar with the matter. It said Facebook is recruiting dozens of financial firms and online merchants to launch the network. Facebook's plans may include ways to financially reward users who interact with ads or other features. Facebook says only that it is exploring many different applications for cryptocurrency technology.…
trump attacks social media companies after facebook bans
President Donald Trump criticized social media companies after Facebook banned a number of extremist figures, declaring that he was "monitoring and watching, closely!!" Trump, who tweeted and re-tweeted complaints, said he would "monitor the censorship of AMERICAN CITIZENS on social media platforms." He has previously asserted that social media companies exhibit bias against conservatives, something the companies have rejected as untrue. The president's comments came after Facebook this week banned Louis Farrakhan, Alex Jones and other extremists, saying they violated its ban on "dangerous individuals."The company also removed right-wing personalities Paul Nehlen, Milo Yiannopoulos, Paul Joseph Watson and Laura Loomer, along with Jones' site, Infowars, which often posts conspiracy theories. The latest bans apply both to Facebook's main service and to Instagram and extend to fan pages and other related accounts. Facebook's move…
johns hopkins to offer school leaders safety programming
A Johns Hopkins University initiative announced this week will offer short courses to principals and other school leaders as part of an effort to create standards around school health and safety. Topics including student mental health and security technology will be offered through the Center for Safe and Healthy Schools launched by Johns Hopkins' School of Education. The new center is being created as a recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center fo r Public Affairs Research finds that most Americans consider schools less safe than they were 20 years ago. Dean Christopher Morphew said the new center will draw from university research to inform kindergarten through 12th grade school leaders who face decisions about keeping students healthy, engaging the community and securing schools against threats. "What we're trying to do is really build…
foodtech: changing the way we eat
With consumers becoming increasingly conscious of their health and the environment, new startups are innovating in food and introducing new technology to reduce carbon emissions and make us healthier and greener. This week, we delve deeper into the growing FoodTech industry, and explore some of the biggest innovations set to shake up our mealtimes… CHANGING INDUSTRY Put food and technology in the same sentence, and it's likely that brands such as Uber Eats and Blue Apron come to mind. Both have innovated in their fields, allowing consumers to order food from their smartphone or have a box of ingredients shipped to their address, but they're just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the food industry. Food delivery accounts for around one percent of the total food industry (€83 billion…
how new plant-based burgers compare to beef
If you want to skip meat, a new era of options is here. Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods are among the companies racing to tap into the massive U.S. market of meat eaters by more closely mimicking the taste of beef than vegetarian patties of the past. Others are working to grow meat in labs. So are the plant-based patties better for you or for the planet? Here's what you might want to know before taking a bite: ARE THEY HEALTHIER? As with many questions about diet, it depends. For better or worse, patties from Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods can be nutritionally similar to beef. Beyond Meat's 4-ounce patty is listed at 270 calories, while Impossible Foods'is listed at 240 calories. Ground beef's nutritional profile can range, but a similarly sized patty with 80%…

Q: How to build and deploy Angular to multiple environments? Using Azure DevOps / Pipelines, I'm able to build and deploy a Angular application to a specific environment.
The way that works today it's something like, 1 Angular (same code) it's built in 2 different environments. To that I have 2 pipelines with the same tasks except for the last one that is a different slot. In resume it's this
Pipeline Staging

1. Node.js tool installer
2. npm (install -g @angular/cli)
3. npm (npm install)
4. npm (run build)
5. Azure App Service deploy (slot: Dev)

Pipeline Prod

1. Node.js tool installer
2. npm (install -g @angular/cli)
3. npm (npm install)
4. npm (run build)
5. Azure App Service deploy (slot: Production)

Now I want to improve this, using DevOps / Releases, but I can't figure it out how to configure.
This is what I'm trying to do

1. Setup
1.1. Node.js tool installer
1.2. npm (install -g @angular/cli)
1.3. npm (npm install)

2. Build
2.1. npm (run build)

3. Deploy
3.1. Azure App Service deploy (slot: Dev)

4. Deploy
4.1. Azure App Service deploy (slot: Production)

But I always get some error like the path not found
##[error]Publishing build artifacts failed with an error: Not found PathtoPublish: D:\a\1\s\Artifact (build)\dist

##[error]Publishing build artifacts failed with an error: Not found PathtoPublish: d:\a\1\s\Artifact Dashboard (build)

##[warning]Directory 'D:\a\1\a' is empty. Nothing will be added to build artifact 'Artifact Dashboard (build)'.

##[error]Error: No package found with specified pattern: D:\a\r1\a\Artifact (build)

It seems something too simple to be so hard to configure. What am I missing here?

A: You should be doing first two steps (Setup and Build) in Pipelines and then Deployment in Releases. In Pipelines you will create artifact which is code you want to be published, pipelines must be ending with publish build artifact task, it will create that folder. You will then deploy it in releases.
Pipeline Should be ending with publish build artifact:
publish build artifact
You are then using this artifact in release.

A: At pipeline I had to add Copy Files to
Copy Files to: $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)

steps:
- task: CopyFiles@2
  displayName: 'Copy Files to: $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'
  inputs:
    SourceFolder: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)'
    Contents: 'dist/**'
    TargetFolder: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'

and also fix this
Publish Artifact: Artifact Dashboard (build)

steps:
- task: PublishBuildArtifacts@1
  displayName: 'Publish Artifact: Artifact Dashboard (build)'
  inputs:
    PathtoPublish: '$(Parameters.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'
    ArtifactName: 'Artifact Dashboard (build)'

At release stage I had to
steps:
- task: AzureRmWebAppDeployment@4
  displayName: 'Deploy Name'
  inputs:
    azureSubscription: ***
    WebAppName: Name
    deployToSlotOrASE: true
    ResourceGroupName: GroupName
    SlotName: dev
    packageForLinux: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/Artifact Dashboard (build staging)/Artifact Dashboard (build)/dist'

Angela Bowie Wiki Biography
Angela Bowie was born as Mary Angela Barnett on the 25th September 1949, in Ayios Dhometios, Nicosia Cyprus, and is an American journalist, actress, and former model, but perhaps best known as the wife of legendary singer David Bowie. Angela's career started in 1970.
Have you ever wondered how rich Angela Bowie is, as of mid- 2017? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Bowie's net worth is as high as $10 million, an amount earned largely thanks to her divorce David Bowie, as he left her a lot of money. In addition, Angela has also worked as an actress and journalist, which improved her wealth.
Angela Bowie Net Worth $10 Million
Angela Bowie was a daughter of Helena Maria Galas Barnett and Col. George M. Barnett, a US Army veteran, and grew up in Cyprus with her older brother. Angela studied in Cyprus, Switzerland, and at Kingston Polytechnic in the UK, and then moved to Connecticut College, but she was expelled after 'same sex' scandal.
After she had married David Bowie, Angela began appearing in various television shows such as "The Tonight Show" (1973), hosted by Johnny Carson, and "The Mike Douglas Show" (1975). In the meantime, Bowie auctioned for the role of Wonder Woman, but lost the part because she refused to wear a bra. In 1975, Angela had an unsuccessful business idea when she bought the television rights from Marvel Comics for the characters of Daredevil and Black Woman – she wanted to develop the series about superheroes, and considered playing the part of the Black Widow, but she never secured a studio deal.
In 1981, Bowie published her first book entitled "Free Spirit", and then wrote a bestseller "Backstage Passes: Life On the Wild Side with David Bowie" in 1993. Along with David Padilla, Jim Durban, D.J. Trance, Morgan Lekcirt and Tom Reich, Angela released a CD maxi-single "The World Is Changing" in 1996. She also appeared in such movies as the "Friday After Next" (2002) starring Ice Cube, Mike Epps and John Witherspoon, and in "Up Against the 8 Ball" (2004). Involvement in show business helped Angela to increase her net worth significantly. Bowie also worked as a "roving reporter" for the bimonthly "Frock Magazine", and most recently, she appeared in the seventeenth series of "Celebrity Big Brother" in January 2016.
Regarding her personal life, Angela Bowie met future husband David when she was 19, and a year later the couple married at Bromley Register Office in Beckenham Lane, London. They divorced in 1980 after having a son together. While they were married, Angela liked to go on tours with David and the songs "Golden Years", "The Prettiest Star", and "Cracked Actor" were about her – The Rolling Stones' song entitled "Angie" (1973) is not about Angela Bowie, even though she claimed otherwise. Angela dated Andrew Lipka from 1979 to 1982 and has a daughter with him, while from 1993, her partner has been electrical engineer Michael Gassett. She resides near Atlanta, Georgia.

ImpactAssets | Karl "Charly" Kleissner, Ph.D.
Dr. Charly Kleissner is an impact investor. He believes that the deeper meaning of wealth is to make a positive contribution to humanity and the planet. He insists that the best impact investments integrate financial return and social/environmental impact. And he argues that Modern Portfolio Theory has to be re-conceptualized to seamlessly integrate positive impact into a Total Portfolio Theory. He sees impact investing not as an intellectual exercise, but as an expression of who he really is.
Dr. Kleissner co-founded KL Felicitas Foundation (www.klfelicitasfoundation.org), and Social-Impact International (www.social-impact.org), which help social entrepreneurs worldwide to accelerate and increase their impact. KL Felicitas Foundation recently demonstrated, that impact investors can construct a 100% Impact Portfolio and achieve competitive financial returns. Dr. Kleissner co-founded Toniic (www.toniic.com), and the '100% Impact Network', global networks for impact investors.
Dr. Kleissner serves on the Advisory Board of the Global Hub Company (www.the-hub.net), and as Chairman of the Board at ImpactAssets (www.impactassets.org).

NEW YORK (IDN) - Foreign policies – an integral part of any national strategy – command the highest priority of all nations.
Since World War II, several foreign policies of super powers did not yield expected results even though all policies and concomitant interventions came with guarantees of peace, prosperity and democracy that never materialized.
As we know, the policies in the Far East led to devastation of Vietnam, North Korea and Laos, the policy of containment of communism, and the 45-year Cold War Policy ended the East European bloc and dismantled the Soviet Union, and the policies of pre-emptive strikes and of regime change destroyed the lives of millions of people in the Middle East.
There is no doubt that United States of America is the preeminent military power in the world, and no country has ever threatened to attack America - except, of course, as reciprocal threats.
Recent geopolitical upheavals such as Russophobia, and paranoia that Russia is about to invade its neighbors, China's artificial islands in the South China Sea, Crisis in Ukraine, economic blockades and sanctions based on tenuous claims, hotbeds of terrorism in the Middle East, and North Korea's nuclear crisis cause trepidation and discord around the world.
The U.S. deployed Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) in South Korea despite admonitions of the South Koreans, Chinese and Russians.
All military powers are upgrading their missiles, weapons systems including lethal nuclear weapons, saber rattling and war maneuvers in the Arctic, the Baltics, the Black Sea, and in the China Sea are nothing but a recipe for a colossal disaster – as any accident or a calculated pre-emptive strike on any country could lead to a nuclear war that would end in mutual annihilation.
Besides, many countries – rich and poor – spend billions of dollars of taxpayer funds to buy more advanced and lethal weapons. What for?
According to UNICEF, more than 1.3 billion people live in extreme poverty (i.e. less than $1.25 a day) 22,000 children die each day due to poverty, and 805 million people worldwide do not have enough food to eat.
Why don't we utilize those funds we waste on militarization to uplift the poor, to build crumbling roads & bridges, improve public transportation, and re-build schools that are falling apart?
North Korea has, since 2016, tested two nuclear bombs and more than 30 missiles in violation of UN Security Council (UNSC) resolutions.
USA warned that a "major conflict" with North Korea was possible and sent the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier strike group and a nuclear submarine to Korean waters heightening the possibility of confrontation.
Make no mistake that any unilateral military action against another Sovereign State is an illegitimate act of aggression that would constitute a flagrant violation of International Law and the UN Charter which clearly states that the use of force is not legitimate unless authorized by the UN Security Council or in self-defense [after a direct attack].
Any pre-emptive strike on North Korea (as in the case of Iraq in 2003) or an attempt at regime change or even an accidental attack would make tyrannical Kim Jong-un to retaliate causing destruction and carnage in Japan and South Korea – triggering a Third World War.
We need to act now to prevent conflict and achieve sustainable peace – by utilizing proven mechanisms (dialogue and consultation) to resolve such problems.
Historical evidence shows us the way. For example, in 1962, when the world stood on the brink of a nuclear war over the Cuban Missile Crisis, American and Soviet leaders recognized that a nuclear war would be nothing but mutual annihilation, and both agreed to a "live & let live" deal in which the Soviets would dismantle the Cuban weapon sites in exchange for a pledge from the United States not to invade Cuba.
Furthermore, in a separate deal, which remained confidential for twenty-five years, the United States also agreed to remove its nuclear missiles from Turkey.
The North Korean crisis too can be resolved if all parties have the will to maintain peace and stability in the world.
In the past weeks, the UN Security Council, the U.S., China, Japan, Russia, South Korea, and most importantly North Korea have expressed their willingness to negotiate for a peaceful solution.
It is necessary now to revive the six-party talks with a cogent agenda that North Korea would agree to refrain from further testing of nuclear weapons, and explore the resumption of dialogue.
Paramount goals of the "six-party" talks should be: North Korea must halt all nuclear weapons development; comply with all relevant Security Council resolutions; ban the joint military exercises by the U.S. and South Korea; the U.S. should agree to remove the THAAD missiles from South Korea; sign the long-overdue Peace Treaty between the two Koreas, North Korea should re-enter the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) that would allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to provide the necessary guarantees that North Korea's nuclear program is inactive.
The Cuban missile crisis was resolved only because President John Kennedy and Premier Nikita Khrushchev knew about the brutal consequences of nuclear war.
While knowing history is necessary to avoid repeating past mistakes, all leaders of nuclear powers must learn about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the horrors of nuclear weapons.
Since various foreign policies such as pre-emptive strikes, regime changes, sanctions, and embargoes resulted in unforeseen consequences, all nuclear powers should pursue a "Live and Let Live" policy.
They should rally the whole world in support of the UN efforts on denuclearization such as the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination.
All nations should respect the UN Charter, adhere to International Law, use diplomacy and peaceful means to resolve international conflicts, and work harmoniously and in partnership to establish a world order that ensures peace, justice, security and prosperity for all.

FSBOs and the Statement…
FSBOs and the Statement of Estimated Costs
What happens when a FSBO freaks out at settlement when she learns for the first time that she is paying seller assist and that the proceeds are less than she anticipated? She goes hunting, that's what. Who is the likely target?
By definition, a FSBO is without an agent and we all know what a horrible idea that is! A listing agent would have reviewed the agreement and brought to the seller's attention that seller assist would be deducted from the purchase price. A listing agent would have provided an estimate of closing costs and return.
While it is unlawful for a buyer agent to engage in conduct that confuses or deceives a seller, a buyer agent has no duty, in this author's opinion, to review all the terms and provisions of the contract with the unrepresented seller.
An unrepresented seller has a duty to assure that she reads the contract and understands what she is signing and to seek help if she does not (one the reasons the standard agreement suggests that the parties consult with an attorney).
Unfortunately, the seller may have a successful hunt because, in many cases, the buyer agent fails to provide the unrepresented seller with an estimate of closing costs detailing the costs and estimated proceeds. By regulation of the State Real Estate Commission, a buyer agent is required to present an estimate of reasonably foreseeable expenses associated with the sale that the FSBO may be expected to pay before she executes the agreement. The regulation (Section 334) states "Before an agreement of sale is executed, the brokers involved in the transaction shall provide each party with a written estimate of reasonably foreseeable expenses associated with a sale that a party may be expected to pay . . ." and it goes on to include the type of expenses for which there is to be an accounting. By my reckoning, the only broker involved in the transaction with a FSBO is the buyer broker whose agent is therefore duty bound to provide the estimate.
What is the consequence of not providing the estimate? It is likely that a disappointed seller will attribute the full amount of the seller concession to the selling broker and will demand that amount in suit. A common defense is based on causation: the buyer agent's failure to estimate closing costs and proceeds did not cause the problem; rather, market conditions dictated a reduced sale price or seller concessions. While that may be true, it is difficult to assert this retroactively. Another consequence of not providing the estimate is that seller may report the omission to the Real Estate Commission, which would likely seek to impose a fine.

Rob Edwards: Journalist
Iraq's protest leaders forced into hiding by pro-Iran militia death threats
admin, May 11, 2021
IRBIL/BOGOTA: Mustafa Makki Karim, 24, fled Baghdad for the relative safety of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region last year following a spate of death threats by pro-Iran groups for his role in the protest movement that erupted against government corruption and incompetence in October 2019.
During the unrest that followed, the young activist earned the moniker "Joker" for the clown mask he wore to hide his identity as he and his "Armored Division of Tahrir" defended their camp in Baghdad's Victory Square.
"I left my life, my family, my friends, my future for my country and for the souls of the people we lost," Karim told Arab News from the safety of his Irbil bedsit. He took a bullet in his leg and lost sight in one eye after Iraqi troops fired birdshot into the crowd.
Now Karim and others like him have been forced into hiding — nursing injuries he sustained in clashes with security forces and militia thugs, fearful for those who chose to remain behind.
Their fears are hardly unfounded. On May 9, Ihab Al-Wazni, a coordinator of protests in the Shiite shrine city of Karbala, was killed outside his home by men on motorbikes. A vocal opponent of corruption and Iran's influence in Iraq, Al-Wazni was a key figure of the protest campaign.
October 2019 marked the beginning of the biggest grassroots social movement in Iraq's modern history. Fed up with a corrupt ruling elite, seen as beholden to foreign powers, the young Iraqis who came of age following the fall of dictator Saddam Hussein marched in their hundreds of thousands in cities across the country, demanding the overthrow of the post-2003 order.
Scenes of defiance played out in Baghdad's Tahrir Square, with pitched battles between protesters and security forces on the adjoining bridges leading to the fortified Green Zone, where government officials and foreign diplomats watched with unease.
Around 600 people were killed as a result of their association with the protest movement — many on the streets during rallies, others targeted on their doorsteps away from the rallies.
According to Amnesty International, the global human rights monitor, hundreds of people were killed by live ammunition, military-grade teargas canisters and other weapons deemed inappropriate for civilian crowd control. Many soldiers and police officers were wounded by lumps of concrete and petrol bombs thrown by protesters.
"I started to protest to end this corrupt political class," Karim told Arab News. "My life was totally changed by the protests. I was a university student. I celebrated graduation in Tahrir Square. I used to go from Tahrir to my university to do my exams and then go back to the demonstrations."
The iconic clown mask, popularized by the 2019 US crime thriller "Joker" starring Joaquin Phoenix, has cropped up in protests across the world as a symbol of rebellion against indifferent and sneering elites.
Pro-Iran media outlets in Iraq even labeled the young protesters "joker gangs" and accused them of receiving support from the US to overthrow the Iraqi state. The reality of course was that key branches of the Iranian regime had unleashed their paramilitary proxies on the protesters to maintain their stranglehold over Iraq.
"I used to hide my identity. For a few months, no one knew I was the Joker. But my uncle told the militias about me. He was with Saraya Al-Salam," Karim said, referring to the Mahdi Army, the erstwhile militia led by the Shiite cleric Muqtada Al-Sadr.
"Suddenly I was a wanted man at checkpoints and there is a court case against me by Asaib Ahl Al-Haq," he added, alluding to an Iran-backed militia known to have deployed fighters to Syria in support of the Assad regime.
"The names and pictures of me, my brother, and my cousin were on the street. They were placed there by Asaib Ahl Al-Haq. Our house was attacked with bullets."
Rather than back down, Karim removed his mask. "I took the decision to reveal my identity on TV. I told them who I am and what I do. I and others were on the front line to stop forces who wanted to break into Tahrir Square."
After initial successes, including the resignation of then-Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi, and having earned widespread international sympathy, the movement began to fragment.
Bereft of clear leadership, divided on strategy, and intimidated by heavy-handed policing and political assassinations, the final nail in the movement's coffin was the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
On the first anniversary of the "Tishreen revolution" in October 2020, Karim and other activists still camped out in the square attempted to re-energize their dwindling movement. But their attempts to march on the Green Zone were foiled by security forces who retook Tahrir.
With the rebellion quashed by pro-Iran forces and an elite determined to hold onto power at any cost, those who had taken part and openly criticized the all-powerful militias now faced retribution.
As assassins picked off the protest leaders one by one, Karim knew he had to flee. Even his family were forced to move to a different city to avoid collective punishment.
"The militias have called for my death. There is no way I can go back to any Iraqi cities outside Kurdistan," he said. "I don't have any future here in Iraq. All militias are chasing me, specifically Kataib Hezbollah and Asaib Ahl Al-Haq. They want to kill me."

And the threats are very real. Thaer Karim Al-Tayeb from Al-Diwaniyah, a town just east of Iraq's shrine city of Najaf, was mortally wounded by a car bomb for his role in the movement.
"His dream was to have a job with the ministry of oil and to get married to his girlfriend," Al-Tayeb's brother Malik told Arab News. "But the militias assassinated him with an explosive device that was put in his car on Dec. 14, 2019.
"He stayed in hospital for nine days before he died. We don't know who targeted him. We don't have evidence of who did this. I even met with the prime minister, the minister of interior and the governor of Diwaniyah and security commanders. There were no results. Only fake promises. Instead, I received threats."
Justice for Al-Tayeb, it seemed, was simply out of reach. "After the death of my brother, a man with his face covered approached me on a motorbike," said Malik. "He told me that I needed to stop pursuing the case of my brother's death."

Few doubt an Iranian intelligence connection to the campaign of suppression and intimidation, which uses the tactics deployed by Tehran against protesters when they dare rebel.
"Militias and the countries that support them want to create chaos in the country," said Ahmed Latif Taher, another Iraqi youth forced to flee to the Kurdistan region. "We know the government and the militias are the same."
But fighting the pro-Iran militias head-on would prove disastrous, he told Arab News. Instead, he wants the international community to keep up the pressure on the Iranian regime so that it ceases its extraterritorial activities in Iraq and elsewhere in the region.
"We don't want to have an armed revolution in any way that will destroy the country. It will be another Syria here. We don't want that," Taher said. "They have enough weapons to exterminate the people. They would kill to stay in power. We need a UN intervention to pressure Iran to take its hands off the region."
As Iraq grapples with a fresh COVID-19 wave, with an economy and infrastructure left shattered by decades of war and mismanagement, the grievances of the protesters remain unaddressed.
"I do not regret my participation in the demonstrations," Karim said as he scrolled through photographs of his masked alter ego on his phone, decked out in body armor in Tahrir Square.
"There is more awareness among people in Iraq after the demonstrations. Day after day we win people over to our side. Even people who work for the militias."

Increase your consumption of this muscle-building macronutrient for better gains.
Protein contains all the essential amino acids necessary to help your body rebuild and recover, and is therefore one of the most important macronutrients when it comes to changing your body composition.
For those trying to lose body fat when consuming protein, know that your body will burn 20-35% of the calories just trying to break it down. When our bodies have enough protein we are in a positive nitrogen balanced state. The more we are in this state the more muscle we will build. However in order to accomplish that we must be consuming an adequate amount of protein each day.
Here are some tips on how to increase your protein intake.
I definitely eat enough protein. How sure are you about that? Many people brag about how much protein they consume. However, once I tell them to measure and track their protein intake they always come back and tell me how they were not eating enough. If your goal is 200g of protein a day and you're only eating 125g a day, over time your gains will stall.
It's easy to get bored with the same protein foods day in and day out. Adding seasonings or your favorite condiments can help put some life back into the same old dishes. Try using a variety of seasonings, ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, low-fat dressings or even some good old fashion lemon juice. If your condiment contains calories be sure to add those calories into your calorie goal for the day.
Don't be afraid to eat something outside of the norm. If you eat chicken everyday maybe switch it up and have a hamburger or bison burger. Adding in different protein sources will help refresh your tastes buds. If you're getting sick of eating chicken breast, change it up and keep it off your menu for a week. Every protein has a different amino acid profile, so changing it up often will allow for your body to get an array of muscle building amino acids.
When in doubt, double down. Don't be afraid to double up on the protein servings during some of your meals. Our bodies can assimilate 25-100g of protein per meal, if you're short on protein for the day, add an extra chicken breast to your lunch or double up on the eggwhites. You can even mix and match your protein sources in a meal. A good old fashion surf and turf will really help to put you in a positive nitrogen state.
Don't feel like eating? Grab a shake. Protein shakes are a great and convenient way to get a low fat source of protein in quick. It requires no effort to add 2 scoops of protein to a shaker bottle and add water. Protein powders are great for protein on the go and ideal for post workout. Another way I use protein powder is if the meal I am consuming contains a smaller amount of protein then I am used to. If I need more I will just mix up one scoop and have that with my meal. Each scoop of protein powder contains roughly 25g of protein.

Q: Singular/plural in "no X since" vs "no Xs since" I commented against an earlier question "No A or B" vs. "Neither A nor B" that in contexts such as The system has had no error since 2013 native speakers would invariably use the plural errors.
As I see it, the two extremes for singular/plural usage here can be typified by, for example,...

1a: I've had no food since Monday.
   1b: I've had no friends since leaving school.

...where my first thought was we use singular food because it's a mass noun. I may be wrong, but I'm guessing that's what underpins my increasing aversion to the singular noun forms in...

2a: I've had no trouble since switching to Linux (at this end of the list, plural seems unlikely to me)
   2b: I've had no difficulty since switching
   2c: I've had no problem since switching
   2d: I've had no error since switching (at this end, only plural works for error, setback, issue, etc.)

(The example is totally made up - I'm actually having all sorts of problems with Ubuntu Linux! :)

But that "mass noun" principle doesn't seem to help when I consider...

3: I've had no boss since becoming self-employed (where I strongly prefer the singular)

What's going on here? Am I wrong about the "mass noun" distinction in the first place? Is there something else involved that makes #3 a special case?

A: I don't think you're wrong about the mass noun distinction, but I think you're wrong in assuming that it is the main factor in determining whether a singular or plural should be used.
Obviously, if the noun in question is a mass noun, there is no way you're going to use an awkward or even nonexistent plural for this construction; so let's ignore cases like "I've had no food since Monday" completely aside (and be happy for the person speaking that today happens to be a Monday).
In all the other cases, I find both singulars and plurals perfectly natural, but they imply different things. The fact that they are negated does not cancel out the singular/plural distinction entirely. Semantics may make some cases more likely to be singular than plural or vice versa, but that's very individual to the context and idiomaticity.
In general, I would say that the distinction is:

*

*The singular is used when the sense is that a specific [noun] is negated, or that the [noun] that is negated is expected or implied to be singular itself. "I have had no [singular]" is equivalent to "I have not had a/the [singular]".

*The plural is used when the sense is that the negated [noun] is of unknown number—that is, if it hadn't been negated, it might have been singular, or it might have been plural. "I have had no [plural]" is equivalent to "I have not had any [singular or plural, as appropriate]".
If the context dictates, your examples could all swing either way:

1bɑ: I've had no friend since leaving school (= I haven't had a friend since leaving school, but if I had, I would here be thinking of just the one)
1bβ: I've had no friends since leaving school (= I haven't had any friends at all, but if I had, there would probably have been more than just a single one)
2ɑ: I've had no trouble/difficulty/problem/error since switching (= I haven't had the trouble/difficulty/problem/error [that we're talking about] since switching, but since we're talking about a specific thing, there would just be the one if I had)
2β: I've had no troubles/difficulties/problems/errors since switching (= I haven't had any [unspecified] troubles/difficulties/problems/errors at all, but if I did, there might have been just one, or there might have been several different ones)
3ɑ: I've had no boss since March (= If I had, I would just have had the one, but he's been out of the loop since March, so I've been without him)
3β: I've had no bosses since March (= Bosses come and go, but I haven't had any of them at all since March)

And an even clearer case:

4ɑ: He was widowed at 28 and has had no girlfriend since (= We're thinking of a proper monogamous, long-lasting relationship where she would be The Girlfriend)
4β: He was widowed at 28 and has had no girlfriends since (= He hasn't gone out and had whatever number of relationships or girlfriends he might otherwise have had)

I do agree, though, that "The system has had no error since 2013" is quite an unlikely sentence. It takes rather a particular context to create a situation where there is some specific error being discussed and then have someone phrase a sentence about that error in that manner. Similarly, reforming the negation, it's quite unlikely that you'd say "The system has not had the error since 2013". It would be much more likely that the sentence would then be phrased as "The error has not occurred since 2013" or something like that. And if we are not talking about a specific error, the plural would be entirely expected.
In a slightly different context, it can work:

— "Did you ever get that weird JavaScript error in your script fixed?"
  — "Yeah, John managed to figure out what was causing it and it looks like I've managed to get it fixed. I've had no error since then, at least."

– but even here, different sentence structures are more likely.

Drop Everything and Read
Overdue Fines Are Canceled at the Multnomah County Library System
The library has gone fee-free. Are Portland parks next?
By Lauren Carlos 7/2/2020 at 8:00pm

We've all been there, forgetting to return that library book on time and consequently having to pay up. But as of July 1, Multnomah County Library has permanently removed late fines on all library materials. Not only that—they're clearing all existing fines on current accounts and restoring access to accounts blocked because of fines, erasing the debt of nearly 73,000 patron accounts, an amount that adds up to well over $700,000. Why now?
Though the intention of late fines was to goose people to return their books on time, a growing body of research has shown that they don't always work, and that ending fines doesn't increase the number of late returns, according to director of libraries Vailey Oehlke.
More important, even fines as low as 25 cents a day pose a financial burden on those who rely on library access the most, disproportionately affecting people of color and low-income communities. Limited access to transportation can also make it difficult to turn in books on time. In some cases, the inability to pay fines can turn people away from using the library in the first place.
Starting this week, Multnomah County Library joins a number of other libraries around the nation that have already eliminated fines, such those in Seattle and Washington, DC. "Everyone in our community benefits when people can access the materials they need to learn and grow," says Oehlke, "and ending fines is one way the library is taking immediate action and creating a positive change for our community."
Despite financial cutbacks due to COVID-19, the library is relatively insulated, since it's funded by a dedicated property tax. The money brought in from late fines makes up only a small percentage of revenue, according toShawn Cunningham, the library's director of communications and strategic initiatives. Patrons will still be asked to pay for items that aren't returned within 49 days of the due date, but replacement charges are erased upon return. Print items will now be treated just like digital materials such as audiobooks and e-books, which don't accrue late fines.
Multnomah County Library officials believe this decision also matters for the advancement of racial equity. With the recent wave of Black Lives Matter protests following the murder of George Floyd, the library has been promoting resources on antiracism and dismantling systemic oppression. As Cunningham put it, making educational resources free and accessible "is a concrete step we can take that helps people, right now."
While libraries are protected by a property tax, other community spaces such as public pools, gyms, and recreation programs face a less promising future. Portland Parks & Recreation recently announced many of the current closures will continue beyond this summer, and not for public health reasons. Unlike the library and many other city services, PP&R is largely funded by user fees from things like summer camps, exercises classes, and swim lessons. The fee-based model, combined with city revenue shortfalls, could mean closures through summer 2021 and beyond—unless, however, the city council can refer a funding levy to the ballot and get voters to pass it this coming November.
Additional funds from the levy would go toward a more sustainable and equitable recreation system, without the cost barrier for community members—if passed, a page from the library's book.

Air is an 2015 American post-apocalyptic film directed by Christian Cantamessa and written by Cantamessa and Chris Pasetto. Starring Norman Reedus, Djimon Hounsou and Sandrine Holt, the film depicts a dystopian future following a biochemical weapons disaster which has wiped out most of mankind and rendered the air unbreathable. The film focuses on a group of survivors in an underground facility as they struggle to survive after an equipment failure.  Produced by Skybound Entertainment, the film was released in the United States on August 14, 2015, and currently has a score of 17% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Plot
A biochemical weapons-catastrophe has wiped out most of mankind and rendered the air unbreathable. The U.S. government hastily built a few makeshift underground bunkers in which a few scientists are kept in cryogenic sleep until the air is no longer toxic. Each of those bunkers is kept up by a couple of maintenance workers who are awoken for two hours every six months to perform routine tasks and inspections to keep the facility going.

The story begins with two workers of one such facility, Cartwright (Hounsou) and Bauer (Reedus). They go about their normal list of tasks during one wake-cycle. Cartwright has occasional visions of his wife Abby (Holt), and has conversations with her, to Bauer's annoyance.

Just as the two hours are almost over, Cartwright's sleeping chamber is destroyed by a fire that was caused by recent seismic activity. The two frantically locate the valve for the emergency air-supply, and then try to find a spare chamber for Cartwright to sleep in.

The chamber is operational, and Bauer chooses to use it. However, the chamber malfunctions and almost suffocates Bauer until Cartwright finally appears and cuts him free, destroying the chamber in the process.

With no other spare chamber in the facility, Bauer insists that they eject a random sleeping person to allow Cartwright to occupy that chamber. Cartwright refuses to send anyone to their death, and insists there is another way. He exits the facility in a hazmat suit in an attempt to enter a nearby sister-facility, with Bauer on the radio helping him navigate. Cartwright encounters several corpses as he makes his way through air ducts.

When he finally enters the facility, he realizes that everybody there is dead, and has been for a long time. Although the computer system has reported all facility workers to be alive and well during the previous wake -cycles, it is apparent that this was a ruse to make the workers believe they're not alone, for them to stay sane.

At the same time, Bauer reviews the security-footage and realizes that Cartwright was standing next to him the entire time while he almost suffocated in the spare chamber, indicating that Cartwright had tried to kill him, and only decided against it in the last minute.

As Cartwright returns to their own facility, Bauer confronts him with a gun. A chase through the facility ensues, with Cartwright finally getting the upper hand by sneaking up on Bauer and injecting a large dose of morphine into him. Bauer accepts his fate, and makes peace with Cartwright before passing out.

In an epilogue, Cartwright wakes up for another cycle, appearing to have aged many decades. The air is breathable again, and the facility's system is automatically waking up all the sleepers, who exit their chambers and walk up to the Earth's surface, with Abby among them.

 Norman Reedus as Bauer
 Djimon Hounsou as Cartwright
 Sandrine Holt as Abby

Reception
The film received mixed reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a rating out of 100 based on reviews from critics, the film has a score of 33 from 6 reviews, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews". Alan Scherstuhl at The Village Voice said in his review that the film consisted of "too many" scenes of "dudes chasing each other with guns", while Ken Jawororski in The New York Times praised the acting of Hounsou and Reedus, while concluding that "the script would benefit from more moments when hard questions are considered and unexpected actions are taken". However, Jami Philbrick in Crave Online praised the film, stating that "Air succeeds where many sci-fi movies fail, by making an unbelievable story completely believable", and commented further that "filmmaker Christian Cantamessa makes a stunning directorial debut with his new movie". James Thomas in Movie Pilot was impressed by the style of the film, stating that "AIR is a love letter to the dystopian sci-fi movies we grew up loving from the late 70s and 80s".

Rock Star Pelù Weds Orchestra Conductor
Opposites attract: rock musician Piero Pelù and orchestra conductor Gianna Fratta tied the knot in Florence on Saturday Sept. 14, 2019.
Introduced by a friend, the couple has been together since 2016. They had kept their relationship out of the spotlight, but for the wedding they made an exception and announced the big day on Instagram.
Piero Pelù was born in Massa but grew up and is a resident of greater Florence metropolitan area; his bride is Foggia, a city in the souther region of Puglia. Pelù had never married before; he has three daughters, by two different companions: Greta and Linda (born in 1990 and 1995), and Zoe (born in 2004). He has also recently become a grandfather. Even though the music artist said that he didn't believe in marriage, Gianna Fratta seems to have changed his mind.
Arriving to the ceremony in an Alfa Romeo, the bride, 46, and groom, 57, got married at Palazzo Vecchio, surrounded by beautiful decorations. The mayor of Florence, Dario Nardella, officiated at the ceremony.
Posing together for the first of their wedding shots, the pair are so different, but were united by smiles on their faces. "Welcome Gianna, a sensitive, rational and hard-working woman, to my /our tribe. We are in for a wild ride, can't wait to start our life together!" – shared Pelù on Instagram. The singer decided remain true to his style and instead of wearing a suit with a tie, he preferred a rock look included an open white shirt, striped jacket and messy hair. Loose curly hair style touching her shoulders, Gianna chose a more classic look, wearing a cream colored strapless dress, opting for natural smokey eye makeup with a red lipstick that perfectly matches her voluminous bouquet of white and red flowers.
Piero Pelù is an Italian singer, songwriter and artist of mainstream rock scene. Known for his never banal lyrics and atypical, provocative character, he has 63,000 followers on Instagram. Pelù started his music career from Litfiba band, released several solo albums, created super hits with internationally famous artists, reached No.1 in the National Italian Airplay Charts for over two months. He also took part in 2005 at Live 8 at the Circus Maximus in Rome, participated in various projects with the Modena City Ramblers and Edoardo Bennato. In December 2009, to the delight of all their fans, Litfiba returned to play together, launching two new unreleased albums. In 2013, he appeared as one of the four judges on The Voice of Italy. After a brief pause, the reunion project resumed with Eutòpia in 2016.
Gianna Fratta is not only Pelù's 'Queen of hearts' (the name of a Litfiba hit) but also an internationally famous orchestra conductor and pianist. She dreamed of becoming a conductor since she was nine, becoming the first Italian woman to conduct the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma Orchestra and the Petruzzelli Theater in Bari, at the Macao Symphony (China), the first woman to lead the historic Berliner Symphoniker orchestra and the first woman to direct a production of the Valle d'Itria Festival. She continues to play, conduct and collaborate with artists at the most important theaters in the world. On March 7, 2009 Fratta was awarded the title of Knight of the Italian Republic for her international achievements as a pianist and conductor. On December 18, 2016 she received an opportunity to direct the Christmas concert in the Italian Senate in Eurovision. The great Israeli conductor, Yuri Ahronovitch, who was Fratta's teacher, writes about her "I have never met a director so young and so gifted." (maria filatova)

Q: How do I determine an MDI child form's screen location? I have a main form 'MainForm' with IsMdiContainer = true
I have one or more dynamically created child forms where I set MdiParent = MainForm
Now what I want to do is to be able to detach these child forms by setting MdiParent = null, but with maintaining the exact same screen location.
I've tried to use ChildForm.PointToScreen(ChildForm.Location), but that gives me the screen location relative to the client area of the form.
EDIT
PointToScreen() on the form itself gives me almost the correct location, except that it gives the screen location of 0,0 inside the form, while .Location refers to the outer edge of the form.

A: You have to use the parent's mdi client window's PointToScreen() method:
    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        if (this.MdiParent != null) {
            MdiClient client = null;
            foreach (Control ctl in this.MdiParent.Controls) {
                if (ctl is MdiClient) { client = ctl as MdiClient; break; }
            }
            this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
            Point loc = client.PointToScreen(this.Location);
            this.MdiParent = null;
            this.Location = loc;
        }
    }

You cannot avoid the slight offset you get on Aero, nor the flicker.
