Język punicki — wymarły język semicki z grupy kananejskiej, wywodzący się z języka fenickiego (początkowo jego dialekt). Zwany także kartagińskim, używany był w Kartaginie — najważniejszej z fenickich kolonii — znany z napisów, spośród których najstarsze pochodzą z IV wieku p.n.e. Różni się on bardzo nieznacznie od właściwego języka fenickiego. Jako język neopunicki był w szerokim użyciu w Afryce Północnej przynajmniej do IV wieku po Chrystusie. Jeszcze około roku 401 święty Augustyn donosił, że język ten jest używany w tym regionie. Wyparty całkowicie prawdopodobnie dopiero w VII wieku przez język arabski.

Współcześni Maltańczycy twierdzą, że z mówionego języka punickiego wywodzi się współczesny język maltański; jest to jednak pogląd nieakceptowany przez niemaltańskich językoznawców, którzy jednoznacznie twierdzą, iż język maltański wywodzi się z dialektu arabskiego i nie ma bezpośredniego związku z językiem fenickim, choć rzeczywiście był on używany na wyspie w pewnym momencie jej historii.

Najlepiej znany urywek tekstu w języku punickim znajduje się w komedii Plauta Poenulus (Kartagińczyk, wiersz 930 i następne).

Beyond Gaming: Watching TV on Your Xbox
by Yukari Iwatani Kane
Ben Schefers bought his first Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) Xbox 360 console four months ago to play games remotely with his friends. But the 33-year-old database manager now spends more time using it to play movies, television shows and documentaries.
"It's something that my wife and I can both agree on," he says, adding that he plays Xbox 360 games only a few times a week–and often only after his wife is asleep. Each night, he and his wife, who live in Berkeley, Calif., spend an hour or two catching up on TV shows with the console. "It's kind of taken over from our DVD player," says Mr. Schefers.
Videogame consoles like the Xbox 360 and Sony Corp.'s (SNE) PlayStation 3 were designed primarily to play games, but the gadgets are increasingly evolving into multimedia home-entertainment devices as manufacturers add nongame features.

Nearly two-thirds of the 333 whales slaughtered by Japan were pregnant. Photo by Alamy
Japan Acts as Outlaw Nation
By	Blog Editor	on	March 25, 2016	with	4 Comments By Wayne Pacelle
The Japanese government confirmed yesterday that its whaling fleet had arrived home in Shimonoseki, having killed 100 percent of its self-awarded quota of 333 minke whales in the Southern Ocean. Nearly two-thirds of the harpooned females were pregnant, creating a multiplier effect and putting the actual loss of lives at 540.
This year marked a return to Antarctic whaling by Japan, after a one-year hiatus following the March 2014 verdict of the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The ICJ had ruled that Japan's previous 'research' whaling in the Southern Ocean was illegal and in contravention of the 1982 moratorium on commercial whaling adopted by the International Whaling Commission (IWC). There were initial hopes that Japan would heed the ICJ ruling, but instead it announced a new 'research' program, 'NEWREP-A'.
The IWC's Scientific Committee conducted two formal reviews of the new program (which bears many resemblances to previous programs), including one by an independent expert panel which concluded that the killing of whales was not justified. Many eminent members of the IWC Scientific Committee have strongly and publicly underlined the need for Japan to properly explore non-lethal methods before beginning another program of whaling.

But Japan, which announced in October that it would no longer recognize the jurisdiction of the ICJ on this or other issues relating to living marine resources, loaded up its explosive harpoons and set sail. The international reaction has sat squarely between disbelief and indignation, even producing a démarche to the Japanese government from the governments of the United States, South Africa, Mexico, New Zealand, and some 30 other countries. In the démarche, they called on Japan to forego lethal research whaling and criticized Japan's defiance of the ICJ ruling and of the recommendations of the IWC and its scientific bodies
Japan appears to have a dogged determination to continue whaling, against the worldwide swell of opposition and disapproval and without any meaningful market for whale meat in the country. It burns tons of fuel to send its fleet thousands of miles across the globe to fire explosive grenades into whales who have been recorded as sometimes taking over an hour to die, incurring relentless international criticism and reputational damage in the process, all to supply meat to a vanishing domestic market.
With logic clearly absent from the equation, it seems that Japan and the other commercial whaling nations, Iceland and Norway, won't desist unless serious economic or diplomatic obstacles are put in their way.
We'll keep advancing our campaigns, undermining the market for whale meat, and keeping up the pressure on governments (including the United States) to push for an end to the politically poisonous practice of commercial whaling. It should be a deal-breaker in high-level negotiations, such as free-trade agreements and Japan's campaign for a permanent U.N. Security Council seat. One day, not too far in the future, I think it will be, given the shamefulness of this gratuitous killing of some of the most remarkable animals on the planet.
Humane Society International, Wildlife/Marine Mammals
Sally Palmer says:
This heartbreaking to think of these wonderful beings being murdered and taken from their families and home. Any government that allows this is vicious and barbaric and deserves no respect and any kind of financial embargo we can do. Thank you, Wayne and everyone who works for and with The HSUS, for keeping up the fight to end this.
Peter Hood says:
It may perhaps be left to Americans as individual consumers to support driving the process of pressuring the Japanese government, by learning more about global sourcing related to things that they buy. A firm commitment as an individual can then follow: "I refuse to bring Japanese goods into my home…"
Vanessa Murphy says:
Jay Lynn says:
I am glad that SeaWorld is working with the Humane Society to try to persuade the current leader of Japan to stop this barbaric and cruel killing of whales. It will always be worth viewing the two films, The Cove,and Blackfish to learn about these intelligent, family oriented, amazing animals of the ocean.
Thanks, Have a Good Day

Lena Horne's sprawling NYC apartment lists for $2.19M
October 26, 2022 by Nigel
This Broadway icon's former home is something to sing and dance about.
The Upper East Side apartment once owned by stage legend Lena Horne is up for sale, asking $2.19 million. The news was first reported by the New York Times.
The spacious residence, which measures around 2,100 square feet, is located inside the Volney, a historic hotel-turned-co-op at 23 E. 74th St.
Horne, the Brooklyn-born singer, dancer and actress, first moved into the building in the early 1980s and lived there until her death in 2010 at age 92.
The apartment was originally two separate units — a one-bedroom and a studio — which Horne transformed into a singular sprawling space that became her sanctuary.
Following her death, her journalist daughter, Gail Buckley, inherited the residence — and she has now put it up for sale.
"The apartment includes original oak hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, and unique built-ins throughout," according to the listing brokerage the Corcoran Group. "There's also an oversized eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, and a massive 450 [square foot] primary bedroom suite."

The kitchen has been recently updated, and comes complete with wood cabinetry and a separate breakfast nook.
A separate dining area is pictured above. Horne would regularly host dinner parties in the space for her famous showbiz pals.
Horne lived at the address for almost three decades, from the early 1980s until her death in 2010.
Listing photos highlight the residence's impressive size, with the light-filled bedroom suite boasting its own separate sitting area with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.
The kitchen has also been recently updated, and comes complete with wood cabinetry and a separate breakfast nook.
The home is located on the fifth floor.
Located just a block back from Central Park, the building has had numerous notable residents, including humorist Dorothy Parker, who died there in 1967.
The large bedroom suite was originally its own studio before Horne merged the space with the neighboring one-bedroom unit.

The apartment includes original oak hardwood floors, beamed ceilings and unique built-ins throughout.
The apartment is perfect for entertaining with large living and dining spaces.
The home is located on the fifth floor of the Volney — regarded as one of the most elegant co-ops on the Upper East Side.
One of the apartment's two bathrooms is pictured. The second bathroom features an oversized tub.
Famous faces were a common sight at the Volney during the many years that Horne lived there, with the Grammy-winner regularly hosting dinner parties for her showbiz friends.
"It was very much her home," granddaughter Jenny Lumet told the Times of the apartment, which also has two separate bathrooms.
The listing comes just weeks before the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on Broadway will be officially renamed for Horne in a ceremony on Nov. 1.
Jonathan D. Schulz and Jason T. Miller, of Corcoran, share the listing.

Nudge Insights gives you the tools you need to engage and grow active pipeline from first contact through to deal close.
You tell us what kind of events indicate a likely buyer, and Nudge's artificial intelligence algorithms will keep an eye out for any time those events occur.
Knowing about just the events you care about, in real time, lets you keep pipeline active, introduce new points of view at the right time, and gradually move buyers towards being ready to discuss a deal.
The art of selling to long-cycle deals involves staying in touch with a large number of deals, while never dropping the ball on any.
Nudge makes this simple by monitoring all of your relationships and notifying you when you begin to lose touch with any of them. Unlike the structured and inflexible sales automation tools for BDRs, Nudge monitors all accounts and won't remind you of any you are already in touch with.
Guiding buyers through long buying journeys involves interacting with hundreds or even thousands of people and dozens of companies.
Nudge automatically tracks and captures every interaction and shows you the people and companies you have recently interacted with, are losing touch with, or have active relationships with.
Make sure you maximize your ability to build pipeline by capturing every interaction and investing in the relationships that matter.
Any buyer travels a unique path on their own buying journey. However, as they go about their journey, there are often standard sales "plays" that you have had success with that help move them forward and introduce new perspectives.
Nudge makes this simple with sales play templates that you can quickly save and re-use. Deliver your best work every time by capturing it in a simple template and using it again every time it's relevant.

Kurt Westergaard, officieel Vestergaard (Døstrup (Mariagerfjord), 13 juli 1935 – Aarhus, 14 juli 2021), was een Deense cartoonist die in 2005 bekend werd doordat zijn bijdrage aan cartoons over Mohammed in Jyllands-Posten een grote internationale controverse veroorzaakte.

Loopbaan
Westergaard studeerde in 1958 af aan de lerarenopleiding in Ranum in Noord-Jutland. Hij was docent Duits aan een school in Grindsted. Later studeerde hij psychologie aan de Universiteit van Kopenhagen en werd onderwijsinspecteur (schoolleider) van een scholengroep voor geestelijk gehandicapte kinderen in de regio Djursland. Als illustrator en tekenaar van karikaturen was hij verbonden aan onder meer het dagblad Jyllands-Posten in Aarhus.

Hij werd in september 2005 wereldwijd bekend door een controversiële cartoon, waarin hij de moslimprofeet Mohammed afbeeldde met een bom als tulband.
Het was de meest spraakmakende tekening uit een reeks van twaalf cartoons over Mohammed, die werd afgedrukt in Jyllands-Posten. Vooral onder moslims ontstond naar aanleiding van de publicatie van deze cartoons veel commotie.

Westergaard werd bedreigd en hij en zijn vrouw kregen persoonsbescherming. Op 12 februari 2008 werd in Aarhus een aantal mensen gearresteerd, die een moordcomplot tegen Westergaard zouden hebben beraamd. Op 1 januari 2010 drong, ondanks de permanente politiebewaking, een in Denemarken wonende Somaliër het huis van Westergaard binnen. Hij was gewapend met een mes en een bijl. De politie kon de aanslag verijdelen en schoot de indringer neer, waarbij deze aan hand en knie gewond raakte.

Na deze aanslag kreeg de cartoonist twee maanden verlof van de krant. Toen dit zonder overleg met nog eens twee maanden werd verlengd, vatte Westergaard dit op als een signaal. Hij kondigde aan geen cartoons meer te zullen publiceren.

Westergaard woonde beveiligd op een geheim adres in Aarhus. Hij was al enige tijd ziek toen hij op de dag na zijn 86ste verjaardag in zijn slaap overleed.

Wilders
Politicus Geert Wilders gebruikte de Mohammed-cartoon in zijn film Fitna zonder daarvoor aan Westergaard toestemming gevraagd te hebben. Naar aanleiding daarvan maakte Westergaard voor het Belgische tijdschrift P-Magazine in april 2008 een gelijksoortige cartoon van Wilders, ook met een bom op het hoofd en daarbij een bordje: Gevaar. Vrijheid van meningsuiting.

Мадле́н Лёме́р (, 1845 — 8 апреля 1928, Париж) — французская художница, специализировавшаяся в изображении цветов и жанровой живописи. Во время Прекрасной эпохи была названа императрицей роз.

Биография и творчество
Мадлен Лёмер содержала салон в своём особняке в доме № 31 по улице Монсо в Париже (VIII округ), где собирала французских и европейских деятелей культуры, аристократов и политиков. Среди её гостей часто бывали великая княгиня Мария Павловна, принцесса Бонапарт, графиня Греффюль, герцогиня д'Юзес, графиня де Пурталес, герцог и герцогиня де Ларошфуко, Марсель Пруст (который вывел её как мадам Вердюрен в своём романе «В поисках утраченного времени», а её акварели иллюстрировали его первую книгу «Забавы и дни»), Рейнальдо Ан, Викторьен Сарду, Ги де Мопассан, Поль Бурже, Франсуа Коппе, поэт Робер де Монтескью, композиторы Камиль Сен-Санс, Жюль Массне, оперная певица Мария Ван Зандт, знаменитые актёры Сара Бернар, Режан, Люсьен Гитри, художники Жан-Луи Форен, Пюви де Шаванн, Детайль, Бонна, Мадрасо, Антонио де ла Гандара, политики Поль Дешанель, Раймон Пуанкаре, Эмиль Лубе, послы России, Италии, Германии, генералы и др.

У неё была история любви с Александром Дюма сыном, который сказал: «После Бога именно она создала больше всех роз».

Мадлен Лёмер также является автором иллюстраций к романам «Утехи и дни» (1896) Марселя Пруста, «Аббат Константин» (887) Людовика Галеви, «Флирт» (1890) Поля Эрвье и стихам французского писателя-эстета Робера де Монтескью.

Лёмер вместе с художницей Луизой Бреслау стала одной из двух женщин-членов Национального общества изящных искусств, воссозданного в 1890 году Эрнестом Мейссонье совместно с Огюстом Роденом, Жюлем Далу и Пьером Пюви де Шаванном.

Мадлен Лёмер входила в состав делегации французских женщин-художников на Всемирной выставке 1893 года в Чикаго, представленной в «Женском павильоне». Она исполнила официальный плакат и обложку каталога.

В 1906 году Мадлен Лёмер была награждена Орденом Почётного легиона.

Reports on Religious Freedom: Table of Contents
The constitution requires the state to respect all religious groups and declares equality of rights and duties for all citizens without discrimination or preference. It stipulates, however, that there be a balance of political power among the major religious groups. The parliament and cabinet are comprised of a broad range of the country's 18 officially-recognized religious groups, designed to maintain sectarian balance. Spill-over from the Syrian conflict and increased activity of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the al-Nusra Front (al-Nusra) on Lebanese territory have strained sectarian relations among the country's religious groups. Hizballah's participation in Syria and long record of political violence have enflamed sectarian tensions.
Sectarian violence, including attacks by ISIL, al-Nusra, and other extremist groups, noticeably increased during the year. Extremists in Tripoli, in particular, attacked representatives of several religious groups during Ramadan and committed acts to intimidate Christians. Conflict between Alawites and Sunnis broke out in October. Anti-Semitic rhetoric in the media was common, for example on Hizballah's al-Manar television station. Religious group identity remained a significant element of social interaction and cultural expression. Despite the rise in violence, political and religious leaders were vocal in their opposition to violent extremism and in their support of peaceful coexistence across the sectarian divide. Religious groups said places of worship continued to exist in relative peace and security, and relationships among individual members of different religious groups were generally amicable, with some exceptions.
The Ambassador and other embassy officers discussed religious freedom and the importance of peaceful coexistence and mutual respect with government officials, religious leaders, and members of civil society. The embassy integrated religious freedom concerns into public outreach programs, and sponsored projects designed to increase interreligious dialogue. For example, the embassy sponsored the Adyan Foundation's Alwan ("Colors") program, which brought roundtable discussions and other events on religious tolerance to students, in 30 public and private high schools.
The U.S. government estimates the population at 5.9 million (July 2014 estimate), which includes approximately 4.5 million citizens and approximately 1.4 million refugees fleeing the conflicts in Syria and Iraq, as well as a legacy Palestinian refugee population. Statistics Lebanon, an independent firm, estimates that 56.2 percent of the citizen population is Muslim (27.9 percent Sunni and 20.6 percent Shia), 35.5 percent Christian (which includes Maronite Catholics, Greek Orthodox, Greek Catholics, and other Christians), 5.3 percent Druze, and small numbers of Jews, Bahais, Ismailis, Alawites, Buddhists, Hindus, and members of The Church of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). The last official census was conducted in 1932, and therefore no accurate official estimate of the country's religious demographics exists.
Many persons fleeing religious mistreatment and discrimination in neighboring states reside in the country, including Kurds, Sunnis, Shia, and Chaldeans from Iraq, as well as Coptic Christians from Egypt and Sudan. According to the secretary-general of the Syriac League, approximately 10,000 Iraqi Christians and 3,000 to 4,000 Coptic Christians reside in the country.
Additionally, approximately 1.15 million registered Syrian refugees and 44,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria reside in the country. The refugees are largely Sunni but include Shia and Christians. Approximately 450,000 Palestinians are registered with the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), of which between 250,000 to 350,000 are believed to be present in the country. Palestinians largely live in refugee camps established during the initial influxes that took place between 1948 and 1971. The Palestinian population is largely Sunni.
The constitution requires the state to respect all religious groups and denominations as well as the personal status and religious interests of persons of every religious group. The constitution declares equality of rights and duties for all citizens without discrimination or preference, but stipulates that there be a balance of political power among the major religious groups. A constitutional provision apportions political offices according to religious affiliation.
The constitution provides that "sectarian groups" be represented in a "just and equitable balance" in the cabinet and high-level civil service positions, which includes the ministry ranks of secretary general and director general. It also provides that these posts be distributed proportionately among the recognized religious groups. The parliament is elected on the basis of "equality between Christians and Muslims." The 1943 "National Pact," which is not an official component of the constitution, stipulates that the president, speaker of parliament, and prime minister be Maronite Christian, Shia Muslim, and Sunni Muslim, respectively. This distribution of political power operates at both the national and local levels of government.
The Taif Agreement, which ratified the end of the country's 15-year civil war in 1989, reaffirms this arrangement while mandating equal Muslim and Christian representation in parliament and reducing the power of the Maronite Christian presidency. In addition, the agreement endorses the constitutional provision of appointing most senior government officials according to religious affiliation. This practice exists in all three branches of government. The Taif Agreement also stipulates a cabinet with seats allocated equally between Muslims and Christians. Citizens who remove their religion from their national registration limit their ability to hold government positions or run for political office.
The penal code stipulates a maximum prison term of one year for anyone convicted of "blaspheming God publicly." This provision is rarely invoked and was not applied during the year.
There are no legal barriers to proselytizing.
Official recognition is a legal requirement for religious groups to receive government recognition for baptisms and marriages. A group seeking official recognition must submit a statement of its doctrine and moral principles to the cabinet, which evaluates whether the group's principles are in accord with the government's perception of popular values and the constitution. Alternatively, unrecognized religious groups may apply for recognition through recognized religious groups. In doing so, however, they are not recognized as separate groups, but as part of the group through which they applied. This process has the same requirements as registering through the government. Official recognition conveys other benefits, such as tax-exempt status and the right to apply the religion's codes to personal status matters.
There are 18 officially-recognized religious groups. These include four Muslim groups, 12 Christian groups, the Druze, and Jews. The main branches of Islam practiced are Shia and Sunni. The Alawites and the Ismaili ("Sevener") Shia order are the smallest Muslim communities. The Maronite community, the largest Christian group, maintains its centuries-long affiliation with the Roman Catholic Church but has its own patriarch, liturgy, and ecclesiastical customs. The second-largest Christian group is Greek Orthodox. Other Christians are divided among Greek Catholics, Armenian Orthodox (Gregorians), Armenian Catholics, Syriac Orthodox (Jacobites), Syriac Catholics, Assyrians (Nestorians), Chaldeans, Copts, evangelicals (including Baptists and Seventh-day Adventists), and Latins (Roman Catholic). The Druze, who refer to themselves as al-Muwahhideen, or "believers in one God," are concentrated in the rural, mountainous areas east and south of Beirut.
The government does not officially recognize some religious groups, such as Bahais, Buddhists, Hindus, and unregistered Protestant groups. Members of these groups do not qualify for certain government positions, but they are permitted to perform their religious rites freely. Government records list some members of unregistered religious groups as belonging to recognized religious groups.
In nearly all cases, the government permits recognized religious groups to administer their own family and personal status laws in areas such as marriage, divorce, child custody, and inheritance. Shia, Sunni, Christian, and Druze groups have state-appointed, government-subsidized clerical courts to administer family and personal status law.
There are no formalized procedures for civil marriage. The government recognizes civil marriage ceremonies performed outside the country, however, irrespective of the religious affiliation of each partner in the marriage.
Unrecognized religious groups may own property and assemble for worship without government interference. However, they may not perform legally-recognized marriage or divorce proceedings, and they have no standing to determine inheritance issues. An individual may change religions if the change is approved by a local senior official from the religious group the person wishes to join.
The government permits the publication of religious materials of every religious group in different languages. The law, however, allows for censorship under a number of premises, including if material incites sectarian discord or is deemed a threat to national security. The provision is infrequently enforced.
Religious workers present in the country and found to be working while on tourist visas may be deemed to have violated their visa status and be deported. The government issues religious workers a one-month visa; if they plan to stay longer, they must complete their residency permits during that one month. Religious workers also are obliged to sign a "commitment of responsibility" form before being issued their visas, which commits them to legal prosecution and immediate deportation if they carry out any activity that might prompt community, confessional, or religious instigation and criticism against the Lebanese state or any other country except Israel.
The government requires Protestant evangelical churches to register with the Evangelical Synod, a nongovernmental advisory group that represents those churches with the government. It is self-governing and oversees religious matters for Protestant congregations.
The Christian bishop synods elect their patriarchs, the Sunni and Shia electoral bodies elect their respective senior clerical posts, and the Druze community elects its Sheikh al-Aql. In contrast to the process for the Christians, however, the government council of ministers must endorse the nomination of Sunni and Shia muftis, as well as the Druze Sheikh al-Aql, and pay their salaries. The government also appoints and pays the salaries of Muslim and Druze clerical judges. The government did not pay the salaries of clergy and officials of Christian groups, including the Maronites, Greek Orthodox, and Roman Catholics.
Although not required by law, religion is generally encoded on national identity cards and noted on ikhraaj qaid (official registry) documents. Citizens have the right to remove their religion or change the religion on their identity cards and official registry documents. The government does not require religious affiliation on passports.
The Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and Internal Security Forces (ISF) increased their presence in Tripoli in the northern part of the country beginning on April 1 in an effort to contain the fighting there between Sunnis and Alawites. On October 23, the LAF arrested Ahmed Salim Mikati, a local terror suspect affiliated with ISIL. Following the arrest, clashes between Sunni extremist groups and the LAF erupted, continuing until October 27, resulting in the death of 11 soldiers and 150 wounded.
There were complaints from minority religious groups about lack of representation in various government positions.
The government did not approve the Jewish Community Council's request, repeated over several years, to change its official name from the Israeli Communal Council to the Jewish Community Council.
The 1989 Taif Agreement called for the eventual elimination of political sectarianism in favor of "expertise and competence," but the government made little progress towards that goal. Members of the less well-represented or "minority" Christian groups stated the government discriminated against them by not appointing a member of their religious group to a ministerial position. While some of their members have served in high-level civil service positions, such as director general, these groups stated that Maronite and Greek Orthodox individuals filled most positions. These groups further stated that, although they estimated their numbers at 50,000, they were allocated only one representative out of the 128 seats in parliament.
In an incident widely reported in local media, the International School of Shoueifat (SABIS) issued an amendment to its bylaws banning religious symbols. SABIS, a private, secular school, did not allow students with cross signs drawn on their foreheads to attend school on Ash Monday at the School's Koura campus. Education Minister Elias Bou Saab later called on educational institutions to respect freedom of expression and religious practice. "We call on... public and private schools...to adhere to the content of Articles 9 and 10 of the Lebanese Constitution," Bou Saab's statement said, "by not issuing any regulations, decisions, or teachings that could violate the students' freedom of religion." Bou Saab added that unless the students' practices "violate the general order," they should not be suppressed. SABIS repealed the amendment.
Despite registering a civil marriage for the first time in 2013, the practice was unofficially halted by the Ministry of Interior during the year following the formation of a new cabinet. As of November 19, at least 30 cases were pending registration with the ministry.
Abuses by Rebels, Foreign Forces or Terrorist Organizations
ISIL and al-Nusra attacked the LAF in the border town of Arsal on August 2, leading to several subsequent skirmishes. During the fighting, 29 government soldiers were captured and four soldiers were later killed.
There were credible reports of Hizballah and other Shia militias limiting access to neighborhoods under their control and harassing Sunnis perceived to be a threat.
Hizballah, a Shia militia, remained the most powerful terrorist organization in the country. Hizballah continued to exercise authority in large parts of the country and conducted extra-legal activities throughout the year. Hizballah's fighting in Syria in support of the Asad regime exacerbated domestic sectarian tensions in Lebanon. In an interview on October 28, former Prime Minister Saad Hariri voiced concern that Hizballah's actions in Syria drew extremist violence to Lebanon, noting "The armed and terrorist groups that are crossing the Lebanese borders and avenging from Hizballah on its own ground - that is in the towns where it is targeting civilians and innocent people and fueling sectarian discord…"
There were reports of tension and confrontations among religious groups, which observers said were exacerbated by political differences, the legacy of the civil war, and the violence in neighboring Syria. According to Pew Research Forum polling data from 2011 and 2012 released in November 2013, two-thirds of all Muslims, including approximately half of Shia and 80 percent of Sunnis, said sectarian tensions were a very big or moderately big problem.
Although Tripoli's conflict between Alawite residents of Jabal Mohsen and Sunni residents of Bab al-Tabbaneh continued throughout the year, the government implemented a security plan that led to increased peace and stability by the end of the year. Tripoli's delicate sectarian balance was challenged by a marked rise in Sunni extremism and violence targeted at Christians, moderate Sunnis, Shia, and Alawites. Observers stated that Tripoli, the country's second largest city, has suffered from central government neglect since the creation of the modern state of Lebanon. The city's Sunni majority expressed discouragement over the lack of development projects in comparison to Beirut. Sources stated that funding from Salafist leaders appeared to have increased in recent years, resulting in young men being hired as gunmen and fueling sectarian violence.
Tripoli's main library, the historic Saeh Library, founded by Greek Orthodox priest Father Ibrahim Sarrouj, was attacked and burned on January 4. The attacks were reportedly incited by false accusations that Sarrouj had published a study that insulted the Prophet Mohammed. The attackers shot at one of the library staff and set fire to the building in the presence of the ISF, but none of the attackers was apprehended. Approximately 40 percent of the library's books were burned.
Civil society and religious leaders condemned the attack, staging a demonstration involving 600 – 700 participants condemning sectarian violence. Shortly after the attack, ISF leaders, including the commander of the Information Branch of the North, Lt. Col. Mohammad Arab, and the deputy commander of the northern region, Lt. Col. Abdul Nasser Ghimrawi, met to listen to the community's concerns. The mufti of Tripoli, Sheikh Malek al-Shaar, praised Sarrouj and characterized the act as "heinous" and committed by "malicious hands."
In early July Islamists attacked with grenades the few restaurants and cafés in Tripoli that remained open and served food and beverages during the fasting hours of Ramadan. Four suspects were arrested. Before Ramadan, Tripoli Mayor Nader Ghazzal requested restaurants and cafés to close during the fasting hours of Ramadan, but following the attacks noted that his request neither had the force of law nor was mandatory.
The press reported in August that several Islamists toured jewelry stores in Tripoli and demanded owners stop selling jewelry with Christian icons and remove existing pieces from their displays, threatening those who continued to do so.
Unknown perpetrators painted graffiti threats against Christians on the churches of Mar Elias in Minnieh, Tripoli, and Mar Elias in Mina, Tripoli on September 1. The messages read, "The Islamic state will break the cross" and "We came to slaughter you, you worshippers of the cross." These incidents were reportedly (and widely perceived as being) in retaliation for the burning of the ISIL and al-Nusra flags by youth in Sassine Square, in Achrafieh, Beirut on August 30.
Anti-Semitic rhetoric was common. On February 10, the Middle East Media Research Institute's website reported that Hizballah's al-Manar TV claimed that Jews created the fictional superhero Superman as part of a plan to control the United States and advance Jewish goals globally. During the segment, a narrator said, "Hollywood is a Jewish invention that changed the way Americans view America, and created dreams, rather than reality. They managed to make the Americans live the dream, divorced from reality. Undoubtedly, the goal was to take over the greatest superpower in the world, to control all aspects of its daily life, and to harness it in the service of Jewish goals worldwide. Whenever someone challenges this, Superman is ready to deal with him."
In an exchange ignited by the execution of four soldiers (including one Sunni and two Shia) at the hands of ISIL following their kidnapping in early August, a Maronite priest, Salim Makhlouf, ridiculed Islamists' beards, saying, "They are no more useful than a brush to clean the boots of the lowliest Lebanese soldier." A Sunni sheikh from Tripoli, Abdel-Kader Abdo, retorted, "All the beards of bishops and priests are not worth a Muslim's boot." The exchange resulted in reprimands to both from their superiors.
Following instances of violence perpetrated by ISIL and al-Nusra, leaders of Sunni, Shia, and many Christian groups condemned the extremism and violence perpetrated in the name of religion. On August 10, the Sunni electoral body, consisting of political and religious figures, elected Sheikh Abdel al-Latif-Deryan as the country's new grand mufti. In an unprecedented show of cross-sectarian unity, religious and political leaders from all of Lebanon's major religious groups attended Deryan's inauguration ceremony on September 26. During his inauguration, Deryan stressed peaceful coexistence and condemned violence in the name of religion.
Places of worship of every religious group continued to exist in relative peace and security, and relationships among individual members of different religious groups were generally amicable, with some exceptions. Religious leaders from the major denominations met regularly to discuss issues of common concern and call for increased mutual respect. For example, the country's National Committee for Muslim-Christian Dialogue, headed by Secretary-General Dr. Mohammad Sammak, regularly brought together religious leaders to address problems in their communities and attempted to quell conflict between religious groups.
The U.S. Ambassador and embassy officers discussed religious freedom with government officials and the importance of peaceful coexistence and mutual respect. These discussions focused on ending sectarian violence and advancing Lebanon's political process. Embassy officers met with religious leaders and members of civil society to encourage sectarian dialogue and counter violent extremism. For example, the embassy sponsored the Adyan Foundation's (a local NGO) Alwan program. Alwan operated in 30 public and private high schools throughout the country. The embassy organized events, roundtables, and community projects to foster understanding between students of different religious backgrounds. The embassy sponsored four programs aimed at cross-confessional dialogue. Many of the embassy's other projects and programs include improving sectarian communications as a component of their larger goals.
The Ambassador and embassy staff in public outreach efforts emphasized the need for religious freedom and respect for diversity, including in the Ambassador's meeting with the new grand mufti, during which he highlighted the grand mufti's efforts to bridge sectarian divisions and praised his moderate record, a statement widely reported in the domestic media. The Ambassador also visited Sunni Mufti Sheikh Malek al-Shaar in embattled Tripoli in recognition of the mufti's efforts to promote moderation and cross-confessional cooperation.
The Ambassador also met with the clerical leadership of all of the country's religious communities – Sunni, Shia, Druze, and its many Christian groups – to promote a similar message. Through contacts with religious and political leaders and through public outreach programs, embassy officials emphasized the principle that governments must protect the universal human rights of citizens of all communities and faiths. The Ambassador and embassy officers also worked with local religious and community leaders to support their efforts to insulate the country from sectarian tensions spilling over from the violence in Syria.

After Apocalyptic Liftlines Last Year, Vail will Limit Ticket Sales this Winter
Daily tickets at all of the company's 37 North American resorts will be capped, but Epic Pass holders will not be affected.
August 22, 2022 Samantha Berman
Turns out that some pandemic restrictions were just ahead of their time. From reinstating a reservation system to putting a daily limit on the number of lift tickets sold per day, it's become clear that skiers want fewer crowds—and resorts are listening.
Vail Resorts dropped opening dates today at all of their North American ski areas plus a little surprise: Daily lift ticket sales will be capped for the 2022-'23 season. All the juicy details below, plus safety protocols going into Covid-adjacent season No. 4.
Daily Lift Tickets Limited
Since everything went back to "normal" last season, Vail's news that it will restrict the number of lift tickets sold at its 37 North American resorts this winter comes as a bit of a surprise. And this isn't just a high season or a holiday plan; the company will set a daily cap at each resort, which will be in effect all season long.
Day skiers, take note: Daily tickets at Vail Mountain, above, and the rest of the company's resorts will be capped for the 2022-'23 season. Courtesy of Vail Resorts
Similar to Jackson Hole's new advanced ticket sales policy, Vail will show availability of daily tickets on each resort's website, and skiers can purchase as far in advance as they want. Once lift tickets are sold out for the day, there will be no walk ups or further tickets sold. In other words, storm chasers and last-minute adventurers risk getting shut out of the party.
The question on everyone's mind, of course, is will pass holders be affected. The answer is no. Epic Pass skiers will be able to use their passes per usual, as will Epic Day pass holders. Buddy Pass and Ski With a Friend benefit tickets will also not be limited.
Prices Go Up Soon: SKI's Complete Multipass Buyer's Guide
"Limiting lift tickets throughout the season, alongside the big investments we're making at our resorts and in our team members, will help us provide our guests with an Experience of a Lifetime this winter, said James O'Donnell, president of Vail Resorts' Mountain division.
For Vail Resorts, especially at their largest and most-trafficked ski areas such as Breckenridge, Vail Mountain, Heavenly, and Stowe, it comes down to the delicate balance between preserving the ski experience and keeping the sport accessible to all comers. By eschewing a reservation policy—unlike a handful of Ikon resorts that are requiring them this season—and putting the onus on the less-passionate non-pass holders to plan far enough ahead, the company hopes to strike the right tone. Will it drive more people to buy passes and end up having the opposite effect? That remains to be seen.
If you haven't bought a pass yet and this latest announcement is providing some incentive, Epic Pass prices go up on Sept. 5.
Resort Opening Dates for 2022-'23
The first Vail-owned resort to spin lifts for the season will be Keystone, which is anticipating a mid-October opening. Unfortunately, the Bergman Bowl terrain expansion and new lift won't be debuting this season due to a construction error.
Colo.'s Breckenridge and Vail and Vt.'s Mt. Snow will follow on November 11. Vail's newest lift, Sun Down Express, will open this season. Part of the Epic Lift Upgrade project that will see 18 new or upgraded lifts across 12 resorts this season, the new chair will connect the bottom of Sun Down Bowl with Wildwood for better connectivity between the Lionshead base and the Back Bowls. At Mt. Snow, a key season upgrade—the replaces of two smaller, slower lifts with one high-speed six-pack—will proceed as planned.

Heavenly and Northstar, Calif., Stowe., Vt., Utah's Park City will open next on Nov. 18. Both Northstar and Heavenly will see key lift upgrades this season, but one of the biggest infrastructure improvements, which was planned at Park City with the replacement of 25-year-old Silverlode lift with a eight-person chair, was halted by the town's Planning Commission.
Beaver Creek and Crested Butte both plan to open on Nov. 23, in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. Find the full list of opening dates here.
Safety Protocols for 2022-'23
Vail Resort recently removed the employee vaccine mandate, and that's along with a wage increase to $20/hour for front-line workers and $21/hour for patrollers, mountain ops, and other specialists, will quell staffing shortages.
For visitors, Vail announced that there will be no vaccine or mask mandates at this time and no reservations required for skiing or dining at any resorts, but they are monitoring health conditions and things could change as needed.

Feeding America Study Projects Food Insecurity Amid Pandemic
Could Climb by 44% in Connecticut Food Bank Service Area
Wallingford, Conn. – June 10, 2020 – The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic will have a have a devastating impact on people facing hunger across the country and in Connecticut, according to a new study by Feeding America, the nation's largest hunger-relief organization. This study is the first of its kind to explore how food insecurity rates at the local level may increase in 2020 due to COVID-19.
The Impact of the Coronavirus on Local Food Insecurity analyzes food insecurity rates for the overall population and for children. The food insecurity rate in Connecticut Food Bank's six county could increase by 44%. Connecticut Food Bank serves Fairfield, Litchfield, Middlesex, New Haven, New London, and Windham counties, comprising 71% of the state's population.
Pre-pandemic, 227,000 people, including 77,000 children, did not have adequate access to nutritious food to live a healthy life. The new study demonstrates that this number is likely to grow by nearly 122,000 people, including nearly 45,000 children. That means approximately 399,000 people (1 in 7 people) may experience food insecurity in 2020, including more than 122,000 children (1 in 4 children).
To address increased need, Connecticut Food Bank has been purchasing food at rates far above any time in its nearly 40-year history. Previously, the vast majority of the food bank's supply came from grocery industry donations. That source has declined by nearly 70% as consumer demand has cleared grocery store shelves. Connecticut Food Bank is purchasing food to fill the gap. "Since mid-March, we have purchased nearly 3.5 million pounds of food," said Connecticut Food Bank COO Daniel Gomez. "We are moving more food into our communities as soon as it becomes available. In May alone, we delivered more than 2.6 million pounds of food and logged more than 23,000 miles in deliveries, and we do not see any of that need diminishing."
This new analysis was conducted by building upon the approach Feeding America used in two earlier briefs to predict changes to national food insecurity rates for the overall population and children in response to changes to poverty and unemployment. The annual projected unemployment rate (11.5%) is within close range of expert estimates when annualized, including those from a monthly Wall Street Journal survey of more than 60 economists as of May (11.6%), the Congressional Budget Office (11.4%), and Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research (10.3%), and represents an increase of 7.6 percentage points. To account for local unemployment variation, this new analysis adjusts the projected national unemployment increase for likely job loss due to COVID-19 based on an analysis of projected changes in the unemployment rate by industry and occupation by Goldman Sachs Investment Research. The projected local unemployment change for Connecticut is an increase of 7%.
"By any measure, hunger in Connecticut is more severe than ever," Mr. Gomez said. "The spike in numbers caused by the pandemic will be much slower to fall than it was to rise."
Mr. Gomez said Connecticut Food Bank has seen requests for food double across its network of 500 partners and programs. "The loss of jobs and reduced wages will severely impact many Connecticut families for months and years to come," he added.
The underlying analysis for the food insecurity projections was conducted by Dr. Craig Gundersen using the model developed for Map the Meal Gap, Feeding America's annual study of local food insecurity and food cost in the United States.
Key findings for Connecticut Food Bank from this report regarding food insecurity include:
Food insecurity in Connecticut Food Bank's service area could increase by 44%, from 11% of the state's population to 16% as a result of unemployment and economic dislocation due to the pandemic.
Food insecurity among children in Connecticut Food Bank's service area could increase by more than 58%, from 14% of children to 23%.
Connecticut Food Bank has seen increased need due to the pandemic across its six-county service area, which is home to 71% of the state's population. Connecticut Food Bank began purchasing food to fill the gap from decreased food industry donations as consumer demand emptied grocery stores. Connecticut Food Bank has purchased more food in the past three months than it purchased over the last year and a half. The combination of increased need, rising food costs, and the effects of social distancing on warehouse and food distribution operations has increased costs for Connecticut Food Bank. The food bank seeks financial contributions and volunteers to support its work. For more information, visit ctfoodbank.org.

and other disparities facing men of color.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter. — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
It only takes one person to shine a light on what's being kept in the dark, but a community to TURN ON THE FLOODLIGHTS. Here is my attempt to shine that light.
Since 2009, I've been promoting issues affecting young boys and men of color, and have even incorporated those issues into my work; such as my recent novel Black Coffee, which touches on how issues can impact lives and future relationships if not resolved or properly addressed. Hopefully, more voices like Sixx King (homicide) and Dr. Donald E. Grant, Jr. (Mental Health/Suicide) and many others will be heard as we attempt to shine a light on what's kept in the dark.
Homicide has consistently been the No. 1 killer of Black men between the ages of 15 and 34.
For the past six decades, the black male unemployment rate has been 2x higher than that of white males.
Suicide, according to CDC statistics, is the number three cause of death among Black males aged 15 – 24.
Blacks represent approximately 14% of the U.S. population but, account for over 40% of new HIV infections.
The 2012-2013 national graduation rate was 59% for back males, 65% for Latino males, 80% for white males.
According to The Atlantic article "A Matter of Black Lives," more than 260,000 black men have been killed in America since 1980.
To put 260,000 deaths into perspective (using 2014 U.S. Census Bureau Black Population Estimates); the loss is equivalent to wiping away the "total" Black population of the state of Delaware (black population estimate of 223,770) or the 10 lowest black populated states combined (Hawaii, Alaska, New Hampshire, Maine, South Dakota, Idaho, North Dakota, Wyoming, Vermont and Montana).

positive..These results also show that as the years pass by and climate factors run contrary to agricultural productivities, cowpea farmers were adopting new measures to cope with the negative effect of climate change. Through adaptation, the negative effects of climate change on cowpea yield could be reduced and the positive influences enhanced. Examples of potential adaptive measures include the introduction of drought or heat resistant varieties, early sowing, mixed cropping, alteration of the tillage system and utilization of land that has been considered too marginal for agricultural cultivation.
