You are in: Food and Drink A tiny Indian restau...
A tiny Indian restaurant worth making a Hullabaloo about
Anthony Phillips Added 27th Nov 2018 0
You wouldn't know Hullabaloo was there unless you were looking for it. Despite its Deptford High Street address, the tiny, almost-vegan Indian restaurant – just three tables and counter seating – is actually tucked around the corner on Douglas Way, writes Holly O'Mahony…
Thankfully, a friend had tipped me off. What she'd said was Hullabaloo is the place to go in Deptford for decent Indian food.
Hullabaloo looks nothing like your typical Indian restaurant found on your typical UK high street. Plush, carpeted interiors have been swapped for wooden floors and surfaces, while there's not a formal, clinically-white tablecloth in sight – instead the wooden tables lay bare and exposed. Lending itself to western hippy vibes, the restaurant is kitted out with rustic cutlery pots, exposed lightbulbs hanging from ropes and a scattering of houseplants. While Indian inflections can be heard in the playlist and seen in a spread of retro Bollywood film posters smothering the walls. The result is amiable, trendy and refreshing.
On the dark and drizzly autumn night of our visit, the warm glow from the restaurant's windows was a pleasing sight. This warmth was followed through by Baloo, the restaurant's founder and head chef, who was all smiles and handshakes as soon as we pushed open the door. Before opening Hullabaloo in 2017, Baloo had previously worked in Mayfair's Tamarind – one of the first Indian restaurants in the world to receive a Michelin star. He'd also worked with twice Michelin starred chef and TV personality Atul Kochhar.
Baloo was late to finding his way in the kitchen, though. Born and raised in Ambala, into a big and very traditional Indian family, he lived by the status quo that dictated women do the cooking and men enjoy the eating. Following school, Baloo studied Hotel Management in Delhi. "To be honest, at that time I couldn't cook anything," he admits. Baloo ended up working as a hotel shift manager but a few months in, found his fascination lay within the kitchen, so he began training to be a chef. "After a while I managed to land a job working as a chef in one of India's most famous 5 star hotels – The Oberoi in Delhi, where I spent the next few years learning my trade," he says. Then one day, an offer came out of the blue to move to the UK and work for Mogul, an Indian restaurant in Greenwich.
Ten years later and Baloo has been living in London ever since. Having been a vegetarian all his life, making his own restaurant meat-free was an obvious choice. Deptford was also a given for Baloo, since the area had become his second home since moving to the UK. Hullabaloo's menu is actually entirely vegan bar the dishes that come with paneer – a soft, Indian cheese. There's also no booze license here, but diners can bring their own or make do with canned soft drinks, masala chai or a non-vegan mango lassi.
We began our meal with a couple of starters, opting for an onion bhaji and a portion of Paneer Shaslik. The bhaji arrived on a slate, sliced and drizzled with a sweet and fragrant chutney, like a small plate in a fine dining institution. We were off to a good start. The paneer followed, arriving in a similar format and punctuated with chargrilled peppers and onions. The slabs of cheese themselves were fresh and pleasingly ungreasy.
Nourishment came in the form of the Veg Saadwala – a muddle of spinach, spices and tofu – while the Veg Chilli Masala, which we opted to add paneer to, was smoky, slightly tangy and thankfully not too spicy. A generous plate of Peshawari naan was fluffy and heavy on the coconut – rightly so. But the star of the show, for me, was the Dal Makhani – slow cooked black bean lentils with tomato and fenugreek – which was buttery and silky enough to give Dishoom's acclaimed House Black Daal a run for its money.
While those who are oblivious to Hullabaloo's existence probably haven't noticed it before, the restaurant has built up a loyal crowd of regular customers since opening a year-and-a-half ago. On the night of our visit, the little joint was packed by 7pm. Our advice? Join the crowds and dig in.

By putting the shower scene in straight after Norman (Anthony Perkins) has been watching Marion undress, Hitchcock juxtaposes these worlds to shattering effect. Beneath the showerhead, the woman whose feelings we have shared all the way from that Phoenix realty office luxuriates at the end of a tough day. She may have been spied upon by that strange Norman, but the door should be locked now. In her 1998 book Of the Figure in General and the Body in Particular, Brenez wrote that in the early part of the shower scene we get a montage of abstract perspectives on the showerhead, the water, the enamel, interposed with shots of Marion's face. We get impressions: whiteness, wetness, cleanliness.
Marion gets into the bathtub and turns on the shower.
[click photo for multiple photos from this scene]
In his Sight and Sound review of Durgnat, Thomson reads this free-floating quality as inaugurating the '60s auteurist aspiration to "weightless sensation." Indeed, the swirling stained water running down the plughole at the end of the shower scene oddly anticipates the swirl of bubbles in that seemingly gratuitous high-angle shot of the coffee cup in Godard's Two or Three Things I Know about Her (1966). The figural excess of the opening shower montage that Brenez is aware of sees the film briefly flee the relentless narrative of Marion's drive. At one point, Marion squints into the pouring water and we are idly reminded of how she squinted through the rain on the windshield as she drove to the Bates Motel. Only then she was responding to the voices in her head as she imagined what her boss, her colleague, and the predatory Texan millionaire whose money she stole will make of her transgression. Norman Bates is not the only crazy with voices in his head, adding to the sometime delicious surmise that Norman and Marion will become an item.
But the awful truth is that the modern girl has fetched up in a dark, empty place. "Neither Miss America nor the girl-next-door any longer, she's stolen something--she's entered into lawlessness, and momentousness, and escaped banality," Harvey writes. As if to echo this flight from the mainstream, the daily American narrative, the shower scene is ripe for a reading on the level of the figural. Australian academic Warwick Mules defines the figural as "the resistive movement that exceeds resolution of the image to character and narration. The figural is an 'excess' that carries the image elsewhere." Echoing Marion's earlier jouissance, her "face becomes figural when it exceeds in its beauty/agony the resolution of character to plot. In the shower scene, where it ceases to be her terror and becomes instead detached, free-floating terror, borne along by the visual and aural affects�it's not that Janet Leigh's face (body) is the outward appearance of the violent death that the character endures, but the 'tearing away' of the body in its appearance as film image from the strict requirements of the plot, even if it is a necessary element to get the character murdered in a certain way." It is in this "tearing away" that Psycho not only announces the shift towards film as film that characterizes the cinephilia, and the modernity, of the '60s, but the "tearing away" of "Janet Leigh" from Marion Crane the narrated character, as it were, announces Leigh's status as emblem of that modernity. The image of a naked blonde in a shower, drenched and screaming, has become a flashback fetish in the cultural consciousness of our time.
Marion is attacked as she showers at the Bates Motel.
[WITH AUDIO CLIP]
The emblem is a recurring definition of the figural in Brenez. In writings on Abel Ferrara, she has discussed characters drained of three-dimensionality until only the Serial Killer, the Vampire, the Bad Lieutenant remain. We might argue, apropos Brenez, for Marion Crane, drained as she is of character, blood, life, as the Serial Victim, surely one of the most awful emblems of the modern world. Another concept Brenez evokes when discussing the figural is that of the effigy, a sculpture or model drained of personality. In her 1998 essay "The Actor in (the) Place of the Edit" (www.sensesofcinema.com), she writes "it rests on a logic of the effigy, of an actantial (actancielle) derealization which enlightens the performative (actorale) invention." In this light, perhaps we can see that final image of Marion sliding down the wall as anticipating the ghastly figure of Norman's mother's grinning skull, subjectivity become effigy.
After she's attacked, Marion slides down the wall and slumps dead to the floor.
The grinning skull of Norman's mother greets visitors to the basement of Norman's house.

In correspondence with me, Australian critic Adrian Martin has reflected that sometimes for Brenez the figural arises out of the stylistic work of the film. Delineated and shaped by that exacting cutting and the shrieking avant-garde score, the effigy descends from an extraordinary orchestration of visual and aural shock.

You might have watched the breathtaking performances at the opening and closing ceremonies of the 8th All Africa Games and Fifa U-17 World held in Nigeria not too long ago, among other major arts and sports festivals in the country, but do you know the man at the heart of all these exciting performances was the self-effacing playwright, Yahaya Dangana? But, surely, that came with a big price.
Dangana, the former chapter chairman of the Association of Nigerian Authors, Niger State, used to publish plays and other creatives works regularly. Now, the chicks are not hatched as a domestic routine.
"I still write books, but not with the intensity I used to be before when I would publish and present them to the public every three or four years," he told Daily Sun recently at the 2018 ANA convention in Lagos.
Sometimes, when he writes nowadays, he distributes the plays and novels to schools and organisations where he feels they would be relevant. No doubt, other aspects of creativity have taken over his time, especially, stadium performance.
During his stints with the sports ministry and the Mass Literacy programme of the federal government, he was challenged by colleagues to write scripts that would be performed at big events. The biggest of them all was the 8th All African Games in Abuja in 2003, where he doubled as Secretary of Ceremonies and Concept Manager. From that that moment, his streak of good luck has begun.
Later, he was invited by the Kaduna State Government to come up with a concept for the National Sports Festival (Kada Games, 2008). "With this kind of challenge, one had to still write again," he said.
At a point, it was from one major event to another. From Kaduna, he got another job to present a show for the Fifa U-17 World Cup in 2009 as the Artistic Consultant/Director. "What led to that was my stadium performances, which went down well with federal government officials, who were in attendance," he said.
As his recognition spread, his state government invited him to organise performances for the National Festival of Arts (NAFEST, 2009). "You can see that most of the time I am engaged in one thing or another," he remarked.
Writing and performing a play for a theater stage isn't the same thing as performing at a stadium, mind you. "There is a big difference," said Dangana. For the COJA Games, he worked behind the scene with legendary dramatists like Professor Wole Soyinka –and that was the icing on the cake. But, for others, he called the shots.
His published works include Corpse as a Bridegroom (novel, 1986), Breastfeeding for Lullaby (drama, 1988), Blow of Fate (novel, 1988), Many Handshakes, One Hello (travelogue, 1988) and The Royal Chamber (winner, ANA/J.P. Clark Drama Prize), among others.
The post Yahaya Dangana: From private playwright to national prominence appeared first on The Sun Nigeria.


"Terminus Interim. Stop the train of interim-abuses." This was the title of the public activity organized by KAJ (Flanders YCW) in Ostende with the presence of leaders from different regions. The aim of the event was to denounce the reality and violence suffered by young people who are seeking for jobs in temporary work agencies and see their dreams and expectations vanish into thin air.
Most of those young people have just graduated from secondary school or university, they are drop-outs, or have low skills, and they turn to temporary work agencies to help them find a job. In many cases, they face difficulties when they have to deal with the agencies, and KAJ wants to draw the attention of the society, the political authorities, the trade unions and the temporary work agencies themselves. They have reached the local and national press to explain their objectives and present the reality of young workers. KAJ carried out a survey, asking several young people about their reality, and it started to organize actions, including the June 2 event.
The IYCW International Secretariat participated in the action in Ostende. Arlindo de Oliveira (the international treasurer) was there and collected some testimonies from young people explaining their main problems.
Riensje added: "It is really difficult to find a job today, and when you do get a job through a temporary work agency, it is hard too, because of the instability, the short-term contract, and the low salary they pay."
Xander and Jurgen are young workers, members of KAJ, and they explained how they are treated by the agencies. "After you register with the agency you need to wait until they have vacancies. Sometimes they call you and when you get there the job is no longer vacant. In other cases, they call you and ask you if you are interested in some work but you need to start the following day, without any time to plan. Unfortunately you need to answer 'yes, I can go'. They feel they are totally dependent on the agency. They have difficulty in planning their lives and organizing themselves. They need to be available all the time even if their contract is just for a few hours.
The temporary work action took place at the same time as the ILO conference in Geneva where the IYCW is participating. In 2012, one major theme of the conference is precisely youth employment. According to the ILO, "the global youth unemployment rate for 2012 remains stuck at crisis peak levels and is not expected to come down until at least 2016." Also for the ILO the use of temporary contracts for young workers has nearly doubled since the onset of the economic crisis.
The studies of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) confirm the testimonies and the situation explained by those young workers. They show that the problems they are facing are long-standing. "In 2002 in Belgium, half of young people left school before age 21½. The transition period between school and employment lasts a little over one year, but it takes nearly three years to find a stable job. While the vast majority of young people aged 15-24 do have a job one year after completing their studies, for some 40% of them it is a temporary job and for over 20% it is part-time. Although substantial, these proportions are in line with the norm for young Europeans. In addition, shortly after completing studies, employment outcomes differ by gender. Young women, even the most skilled among them, hold much more frequently an atypical or low-wage job than young men and the gap increases with age".
Other recent investigations bring us information about the situation after the international crisis. In the specific case of Belgium, an interesting article written by Robert Plasman says: "The economic crisis has had dramatic effects on youth unemployment. This is also reflected in the decrease of the employment rate for the 15-19 age group, but is also noticeable for the 25-29 age group. Unemployment for the 15-24 age group increased by 18 % between June 2009 and June 2008, compared to 11 % for the over 25 age group. The youth unemployment to population ratio increased to 12.4 for the 20-24 age group in 2010, when it was only at 8.6 in 2008. This is quite similar for the 25-29 age group. These aggregated data hide huge differences between the regions of Belgium, and also between the sexes."
Stefaan Degryse, a national KAJ coordinator, explains: "The activity in Ostende is part of a national campaign. KAJ already organized similar activities in several regions in Belgium such as Aalst and will do the same in Antwerp and Ghent. These are steps towards a national event which will be held in Brussels in November 2012." When we asked Stefaan why they started this campaign, he answered: "I see young workers struggling to find a job because of the way temporary work agencies treat them. Many youngsters have to deal with severe consequences: their families or friends don't believe that they are looking for work. Some are called 'sluggards'. They can't save money to build a happy future, for example they cannot get a loan for a house. So they have to live with their parents. I believe young workers are strong enough to face these challenges, heads up high. Together we can and we will change this."
The IYCW strongly supports the action taken by KAJ. The international movement is continuing its fight for the rights of young workers. We keep on strengthening our actions and international campaign: "Social Protection – for decent work, quality education and gender equality in society".
From the campaign, the IYCW has identified challenges to be taken up to improve the conditions of young people and guarantee social protection for them.
The temporary work agencies should respect the rights of job-seekers and improve the way they treat them.
The private sector has an important role to play, especially in respecting the domestic laws setting out the rights of young workers. It must create opportunities and offer long-term contracts to young people without intermediaries, in consonance with the campaign on Decent Work promoted by IYCW and other international institutions.
States have to play a major role in improving the capacities of young people through training, technical courses and other means. They should create job opportunities which can help the development of society and young people. It should be noted that the current austerity policies make it difficult to increase job opportunities in the countries. States also need to defend their people for the sake of common benefit. Therefore they need to regulate the system and the way it deals with young workers and ensure regular inspections.
The IYCW will hold its International Council in Ghana, Africa, in August 2012. KAJ and all the movements affiliated to the IYCW are invited to attend the Council. The young leaders from different countries will be able to share and exchange their experiences to defend and fight for the rights of young workers.


NSW Leaking Roof and Damage to Stock on Commercial Lease?
Discussion in 'Property Law Forum' started by Philly2020, 9 February 2019.
Can someone please give me some legal insight?
The situation is this... The tenant has a standard 3x3 commercial lease on a business premises (shop front) which was done through a local real estate. Within several months of commencing the lease, it was noticed during moderate rain the roof was leaking quite badly. Video and photos were taken and send to the real estate. Nothing was done.
Over the next 6 months every time it rained the roof would leak. There has been damage to stock, but until recently fair insignificant, although the carpets have become wet and mouldy and the store has the mouldy smell. After multiple complaints to the agent, the tenant was told that the repairs were too expensive and that the landlord could not afford it, the roof would not be getting repaired.
24 hours ago there was a bad storm and the roof began leaking excessively from many areas. The real estate contacted the tenant that evening (Friday) and said words to the effect 'I assume the roof is leaking. We will be addressing it on Monday". There has been moderate damage to stock and equipment, the floor has flooded and even though the rain stopped 20 hours ago, there is obviously a huge amount of water sitting in the roof as it is continuing to drip still.
We are concerned about the risk of safety to ourselves, customers and the assets. We have bought in a carpet guy to help remove the excess moisture in the carpet today (Saturday) at our own expense and seeking reimbursement later.
Is there something else we can do?
I am concerned the roof is going to collapse.
Go see a property lawyer asap. You have rights that have been ignored by the agent/landlord.

White House Recognizes Placer County's Use of Mobile Technology to Fight Rural Child Poverty
Obama Administration announces initiative to build brighter future for rural kids and challenges other counties across country to follow the lead of Placer County.
From the White House blog: Between 2012 and 2014, child poverty fell further than it had since 2000, indicating that the economic recovery is starting to improve prospects for poor families. Still, in 2014, roughly 2.5 million children in rural areas were poor and approximately 1.2 million children lived in rural families with cash incomes below half of the poverty line.
More must be done to ensure all children have a chance to succeed. That's why today, in conjunction with the White House Rural Council and the National Association of Counties' first-ever Opportunity for All: Building a Brighter Future for Rural Families convening, the Administration is announcing new efforts to combat child poverty in rural America. These efforts, which build on ongoing progress to combat child poverty, include:
Launching the Rural Impact County Challenge.
Recognizing the critical role local officials play in the lives of rural families and leveraging their ability to innovate, the White House Rural Council and the National Association of Counties have come together to issue the Rural Impact County Challenge to advance counties' efforts to reduce the number of rural children and families living in poverty. This national initiative challenges local leaders to pass county resolutions identifying rural child poverty as a priority, and develop or refine an actionable plan that can be used to deliver impact for high-need rural children and families. By this summer, our goal is for at least 100 rural counties to have taken up the Challenge.
Across the country, it's clear that some counties have already started.
In Placer County, the Board of Supervisors has prioritized reducing child hunger, and is embracing technology as part of the solution to ensuring rural kids and families are connected to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and other federal nutrition programs. The county has piloted a mobile-friendly online system that can be accessed via cellphone—so that internet access and long travel distances to county offices don't keep kids from getting the nutrition they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

NEW TODAY: When Ukraine has nukes What if Ukraine had kept its nuclear inheritance?
Inspector general leaves after 10 years
Fine seen as highly independent in turbulent times
Law_Crime
Glenn A. Fine
Eric H. Holder Jr.
By Jerry Seper - The Washington Times - Monday, November 29, 2010
Justice Department Inspector General Glenn A. Fine, who emerged as the government's most independent watchdog, announced his resignation on Monday in letters to President Obama and Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., saying it was time to "pursue new professional challenges."
Mr. Fine, named to the inspector general's job by President Clinton in 2000 after five years as a top lawyer in the office, including serving as special counsel to the then-inspector general, told Mr. Obama and Mr. Holder he was proud of the "significant contributions" the Office of Inspector General (OIG) made during his time in office.
"Through our audits, investigations, inspections and special reviews, we have sought to improve the department's performance, promote economy and efficiency in its programs, and detect and deter waste, fraud and abuse in its operation," he wrote.
"I know that the OIG and its employees are well positioned to continue their outstanding work," he said. "The OIG has an experienced leadership team and extremely talented employees, and it has been my privilege to work with such a dedicated group of public servants." He is expected to leave office by the end of January.
Mr. Fine headed the OIG during a particularly turbulent period, faced with questions in the George W. Bush administration concerning Justice Department tactics in the war on terror, the political firing and hiring of U.S. attorneys and various government lawyers and the FBI's probe of advocacy groups and improper use of national security letters.
In 2008, Mr. Fine's office determined that former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales had failed to properly secure 18 top-secret documents related to National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance and detainee-interrogation programs. In a report, the OIG said Mr. Gonzales took home notes that included classified information from a meeting about the NSA surveillance program and that he also improperly kept 17 other classified documents in a safe outside his office at the Justice Department that at least five staff members without appropriate clearances could access.
More recently, Mr. Fine said his office would investigate the Obama administration's role in the New Black Panther Party case to determine whether Voting Section employees have been harassed for participating in specific investigations or prosecutions. He said his office would review what types of cases were being investigated, whether there have been changes in enforcement policies and procedures and whether the civil rights laws were being enforced in a nondiscriminatory manner.
Mr. Holder said that for more than 15 years, Mr. Fine's commitment to "integrity and professionalism" helped the Justice Department "fulfill its most important responsibilities."
"Throughout his decade-long tenure as Inspector General, he has embodied the Justice Department's highest ideals and greatest traditions of service," Mr. Holder said. "In the Justice Department's most critical operations and practices, especially our efforts to combat corruption, fraud, waste and abuse, the work done by the Office of the Inspector General is essential."
Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, Vermont Democrat and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, commended Mr. Fine "for his years of dedicated government service, particularly his excellent work over the last decade.
"Inspectors General play a crucial role in ensuring that government agencies and their employees operate efficiently, effectively, within the scope of the law, and with integrity and commitment to American values," Mr. Leahy's statement said.
"All Americans should appreciate Inspector General Fine's audits of the use of surveillance authorities under the Patriot Act," he said.

Japan PM to unveil push for renewable energy, cheaper solar power -media
* Hurdles include high installation costs, fragmented grids
* Solar potential lies in utilities with high power demand
* Softbank says to spend several pct of revenue in solar power
By Risa Maeda
TOKYO, May 25 (Reuters) - Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan is expected to announce a drive towards renewable energy, including slashing the cost of solar power, when he meets fellow leaders of the G8 rich nations group later this week, media reports say.
One target will be to increase the use of solar power 15-fold by 2030, according to the Asahi newspaper, while the Nikkei business daily said every new building, including residential houses, will be required to have solar panels by then.
The shift reflects efforts to ensure energy security and safety as regions hit by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, which knocked out several power stations, face possible blackouts during the peak summer demand period, possibly even beyond this year.
Japan was the world's third-biggest user of nuclear power before the quake. But enthusiasm for nuclear energy has waned since the tsunami triggered a crisis at Tokyo Electric Power Co's Fukushima Daiichi plant, where engineers are still struggling to control reactors that had fuel meltdowns and stop radiation leaks that have caused thousands of residents to be evacuated.
Softbank Corp , Japan's third-largest mobile phone operator, said on Wednesday it plans to invest several percent of its more than 3 trillion yen ($36.6 billion) of sales revenues in solar power. [ID:nL3E7GO39X]

Kan is expected to outline efforts to ensure energy security by boosting the use of solar power especially in cities, where constant power demand and use of thermal facilities make it easier for utilities to vary sources of electricity.
Unlike wind or geothermal power, whose potential has geological restrictions, solar power panels can work almost nationwide, and if installed in Tokyo and other areas of dense power demand would lessen the risk of blackouts.
The government called on Wednesday for curbs in electricity use by 15 percent from July 1 for two months in areas covered by Tokyo Electric, known as Tepco, which serves the capital and surrounding region, and Tohoku Electric Power Co , serving the devastated northeast region.
Utilities in other regions are also on alert for possible supply shortages this summer, with safety worries prompting local authorities to refuse to allow reactors shut for maintenance to be restarted.
"Solar is the most appropriate to cut demand in peak hours," said Hiroshi Komiyama, chairman of Mitsubishi Research Institute. The government could start by boosting its use in quake-affected areas, he said.
Japan's Institute for Sustainable Energy Policies says the nation should boost solar power to 71,000 megawatts by 2020 if it shifts away from nuclear power.
Currently, solar power in Japan has total capacity of about 2,600 megawatts, equivalent to a little more than 10 percent of the disabled Fukushima Daiichi plant.
But it is unclear how the government can achieve a switch to solar power, which has the highest installation costs of any energy source, beyond the proposed enhancement of an existing price incentive scheme for renewable power suppliers.
SOLAR POTENTIAL AT BIG UTILITIES
A bill submitted to parliament in March would expand the range of renewable sources from the existing scheme for small-lot solar power suppliers, mainly house owners.
Even if the bill is passed in a divided parliament and utilities are obliged to buy electricity from mega solar projects in a so-called "feed-in" tariff scheme, solar panels are not economically viable in Japan without subsidies, according to a government estimate.
Construction of a 1,000-megawatt power plant using solar energy would cost three times as much as if it used wind power and at least 10 times as much as for nuclear energy, when the energy efficiency of each source is taken into account, a separate government estimate showed.
But solar panel prices are on the decline, and if houses and buildings are more effectively insulated, initial investments would be paid back in eight years or so, instead of 15 to 20 years currently, Mitsubishi Research's Komiyama said.
Limited transmission capacity between regionally dominant power companies is another factor keeping power suppliers from tapping into solar or wind power.
Unlike in Europe, where power grids are connected across national borders, Japan's fragmented system is divided into nine regions and links are used only when there is a sudden jump in demand or problems at power facilities.
In the northern Japan island of Hokkaido, where wind potential is higher than in other regions, for example, Hokkaido Electric Power Co limits its capacity for wind power to 360 megawatts, or a little more than 10 percent of the island's minimum power demand, to avoid any failure to meet demand.
A failure would cause unexpected blackouts.
But for utilities with larger power demand such as Tokyo Electric, Kansai Electric Power Co and Chubu Electric Power Co , their capacity for such variable sources should be much bigger.
Using a similar assumption, Tokyo Electric, which serves the country's economic heartland of Tokyo and its surrounding areas, could take in about 3,000 megawatts of wind and solar power combined without support from neighbouring utilities or causing unexpected blackouts.

Peta Murgatroyd and Maksim Chmerkovskiy's 8-month-old son, Shai, is already a Dancing With the Stars fan!
After Monday's battle in the ballroom, Murgatroyd revealed to ET's Cameron Mathison that she takes her baby to work with her and he watches mommy and daddy dance.
"I dont keep him here all day, just a little bit," she noted. "Just so I get my fix."
The 31-year-old DWTS pro -- who is paired up with Nick Lachey this season -- also shared that her son can already spot his mom on the dance floor.
"While we danced last week, my nanny actually said that [Shai] recognized me on TV," she recalled. "Last season -- when he was really young -- he didn't recognize me when I came into the trailer to see him, because I had so much makeup on and hair. He was like, 'Who are you?'"
Murgatroyd and Lachey performed the foxtrot on Dancing With the Stars, and while they did impress the judges, both admitted that there this is more work to be done on the 98 Degrees singer's form.
"It was tension in the shoulders. We have to work on getting down, so it's a lot of posture," Lachey, 43, explained. "Forty-three years of walking like a caveman, and now I'm expected to just ride it over night!"


According to a Kansas State University animal scientist, the recent lower prices in DDGS suggest producers may want to take a second look at its use in pig diets.
With the seemingly continual rise in ethanol plant construction, DDGS prices have been dropping recently. However, we have always been very cautious about the addition of DDGS, based on some controversy in research results and the high cost of DDGS," said Mike Tokach, swine specialist with K-State Research and Extension. "Some studies have shown negative responses in growth performance, while other studies have shown similar performance to a corn-soybean meal diet."
The price of DDGS in Kansas is still higher than it is in some other areas, he added. But, that could change with increased ethanol production. "A quick rule of thumb for a general evaluation is that if the DDGS price is the same as corn´s, it will create enough savings to justify its use in the diet," Tokach said. The breakeven for DDGS can move from 110 to 130% of the corn price, depending on the cost of other ingredients.

Q: PHP for loop not iterating fully inside HTML email I have a PHP script through which I send HTML emails. I'm using a 'for' loop to collect data and storing it in a variable. The loop is instructed to run 25 times. The problem is that it is looping only 19 times. I checked for any unlcosed tags or typos in syntax but didn't find any. I'm posting the for loop section in case any of you can spot what I couldn't. It is really frustrating as I think the solution is very simple and yet I'm unable to spot the problem.
My headers for the 'mail()' function are fine. Here they are just in case

I can attach the screenshot of the email that is being sent to give an idea on how the code is breaking. Let me know if you want the screenshot too.
PS : I copy-pasted this code in a separate file and ran it and it was working fine. The loop iterated 25 times. This makes me believe that there is a problem putting it inside HTML email.
Also adding in the email script if that helps:
$to = $clem;
$subject = "Something goes here";
$message = "

            $abc

";

$from = "$logged_user";
$headers = "From: $from \r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$res=mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

Thanks in advance,
Nisar

A: Nevermind, I found what was wrong. Here it is for people with similar problems.
I learnt that html emails have a 990 character limit per line. That was the reason why my code was breaking

Sonic the Hedgehog (TV series) objects
De-Roboticizer (SatAM)
This article's subject exists primarily or exclusively within the SatAM continuity.
De-Roboticizer
The De-Roboticizer being used on Bunnie.
"Game Guy"
Reversing the effects of the Roboticizer
A mechanical pod.
The De-Roboticizer[1] is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog television series. It is a counterpart device to a Roboticizer in development by the Knothole Freedom Fighters. Its function is to reverse the process of Roboticization and converting Worker Bots back into their original organic forms.
The De-Roboticizer is a cylinder shaped device that encases the user within a transparent glass case.
Features and abilities
As per its name, the De-Roboticizer can reverse the effects of the Roboticizer. As of yet, however, its effects are only temporary, meaning its recipients will return to robot form after some time.[1]
The De-Roboticizer was built by the Knothole Freedom Fighters through long, hard work, with them often studying and stealing Dr. Robotnik's technologies in order to do so.[1]
Eventually managing to get it working, the De-Roboticizer was first used on Bunnie Rabbot, whereupon she regained her organic limbs. Seeing that it was a success, Sonic went and got Uncle Chuck into the De-Roboticizer and reverted him back to normal too. However, the De-Roboticizer's effects soon proved to be temporary, causing Bunnie and Chuck to revert back to their robotic forms after a while.[2]

Oscars 2020: Best Animated Feature Predictions
Two Netflix features are vying for this year's top animation prize. Updated 1/15/20.
Bill Desowitz
@BillDesowitz
This year's animated feature nominees include Pixar's "Toy Story 4," DreamWorks' "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World," Laika's stop-motion "Missing Link," and two Neflix entries: "Klaus" and "I Lost My Body."
"Toy Story 4" is certainly the one to beat. It exceeded expectations while breaking the franchise box office record. Pixar proved there was definitely one more story to tell about Woody's (Tom Hanks) existential journey. It's about change and growth, with Bo Peep (Annie Potts) and Forky (Tony Hale) as the catalysts. Pixar upped its animation (from the porcelain shepherdess to the complex antique shop), and delivered a surprising, bittersweet climax.
DreamWorks' prestigious "Hidden World" concluded the beloved "Dragon" franchise on a high note, with director Dean DeBlois confronting the politics of hate, as grownup Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) secures the safety of his pal, Toothless, new companion Light Fury, and the rest of the dragon clan. Change, growth, and happiness envelope this finale as well. The animation is stunning, thanks to tech advancements at DreamWorks that allowed such an aesthetically opulent depiction of the Hidden World along with more detailed and tactile surfacing for every facet of the animation.
'Toy Story 4': How Pixar Upped the Stakes for Woody with a Scary Antique Store
Netflix's 'I Lost My Body' Is the Year's Boldest Animated Feature
'Bridgerton': Everything You Need to Know About Shonda Rhimes' First Netflix Show
'The Lord of the Rings': Everything You Need to Know About Amazon's Big Money Adaptation
Stop-motion innovator, Laika, chases its fifth Oscar nomination with the charming Victorian-era comedy/adventure, "Missing Link" (from Annapurna). Narcissistic explorer Sir Lionel Frost (Hugh Jackman) and a Sasquatch named Mr. Link (Zach Galifianakis) embark on a globetrotting quest in search of the legendary Shangri-La, home of Link's ancestry. Laika offered full-color, one-off 3D-printed face replacement for the first time and Nelson Lowry's sets and Deborah Cook's costumes are exquisitely crafted.
"Despicable Me" creator Sergio Pablos struggled to make a 2D Santa origin story, "Klaus," for nearly a decade at his animation studio in Madrid. And the animation community has cheered him on for trying to reinvigorate the hand-drawn technique with a modern, digital veneer. But, after being turned down by Hollywood studios, Netflix came to the rescue to produce Pablos' pet project about the spirit of altruism becoming contagious. But the selling point is the retro look that's enhanced by stunning lighting and texturing, courtesy of new tracking software from Pablo's studio, which takes 2D into the 21st century with some digital flourishes.
With "I Lost My Body," the existential French mystery about a severed hand, director Jérémy Clapin offered the season's boldest animated feature (winning most of the critics' awards). It's a thrilling mixture of action and romance, animated by Xilam Animation in CG, but overlaid with a striking hand-drawn aesthetic. The result is a provocative exploration of destiny and free will, in which touch and sound figure prominently.
" I Lost My Body"
The final five contenders are listed in alphabetical order. No film will be considered a frontrunner until we have seen it.

DMAE is an anti-free radical agent that is used to prevent previous skin damage and prevent further damage in the future. It is a powerful anti-oxidant that aids in firming and texturing the face and neck skin.
The full name of DMAE is Dimethylaminoethanol and it provides a non-irritating antioxidant base, used in combined with amino acids and nutrients, providing a safe and effective solution for all skin types.
DMAE is non-irritating which makes is the ideal choice for anyone with sensitive or delicate skin. It not only protects the skin cells, but also rejuvenates the skin, while firming and texturing.
In addition to this, DMAE reduces the appearance of unwanted lines and wrinkles and significantly improves the skins appearance. Improvements are seen within weeks of use to overall skin aging, forehead lines, eye wrinkles, smile lines and more.
It is used effectively on women of all ages as part of their regular DMAE skin care routine. The product is most effective when used at night, giving the skin time to absorb all the anti-oxidant goodness while you sleep, leaving you waking up each day with less lines, wrinkles and enjoying firmer skin on the face and throat area.
DMAE skin care cream can be used on all age groups and is highly effective when used from a younger age, preventing skin damage, but it still remains effective on those who are looking for a high quality, safe and effective anti-aging solution to help reduce the lines and wrinkles associated with aging.
You should use DMAE as a night time skin care cream. Apply to your fingertips and gently massage into the face and throat with upward hand movements. Lightly massage the cream into the skin, pushing upwards rather than in circular or downward motions. Cover the entire face and throat area and then leave on while you sleep.


As a technology geek, I LOVE what Disney has been doing to innovate the park experience through mobile application development and the integration of MagicBands. During our most recent trip to Walt Disney World in Florida, our entire party of four DINKs (double-income, no-kids) completely adopted, and mastered the MagicBand concept. We learned a few key things along the way, and I'm going to pass on some of that experience to everyone who might have some first-time MagicBand jitters in this quick guide on Disney MagicBand 101.
What is a Disney MagicBand and what does it do?
The Magicband is your true "key to the kingdom" and combines the beauty of your park ticket, payments, hotel room key, dining reservations, FASTPASS and more into one super-convenient waterproof wearable.
When you enter a park with your MagicBand, you'll be required to scan your fingerprint to ensure that it's actually you entering the park. Your MagicBand is linked to your profile on the MDE (also known as MDX) or My Disney Experience App and is tied to a person and not a reservation and is part of MyMagic+, a system built with privacy controls and security. There is no information stored on the bands directly and you will have to access the application to manage your profile, as well as the profiles of any linked party members. You'll also have to log in to manage any payment methods you have stored in the application and every transaction you make will require you to enter a PIN number to validate just as you would a debit card. If you lose your band for any reason, you can deactivate it with a quick visit to Guest Relations.
Can I use my MagicBand in all Disney Parks?
Good news if you are visiting Walt Disney World as all the parks (including water parks) will use your MagicBand. Unfortunately, The Disneyland Resort does not use MagicBand technology and you will still need to use the plastic souvenir tickets. However, Disneyland Resort has released Disney MaxPass which will allow the functionality of booking your FASTPASS return times through your Disneyland app as you would do with your MDE/MDX app at Walt Disney World.
How does a MagicBand work?
Here's where we nerd out! Disney has imagineered MagicBand technology by using Radio Frequency (RF) to access a small chip inside your band that is programmed with your individual details and can update information as those details change throughout your trip. All those FASTPASS times and dinner reservations are stored in that tiny little chip and can be accessed with a tap of the band to a receiver. You'll hear "Mickey to Mickey" which means matching up the Mickey on your band to the Mickey on the receiver. Pretty cool, right?
Can I personalize my Disney MagicBand?
MagicBands are included in your Walt Disney World Resort vacation package for each member of your party, so no need to purchase them separately. If you are lucky enough to be an AP (Annual Passholder), you'll also get a Disney MagicBand with that purchase. If you want a special character or style of MagicBand, you can purchase one and just transfer activation via the MDE/MDX app.
Can I reuse my MagicBand?
Yes, yes, and yes! That's exactly why the collector versions and multiple characters are out there. You can have one or many MagicBands, but can only have one activated at a time. Again, your MagicBand is tied to you as a person and not your individual reservation, so you can use the same band indefinitely.
Why are Disney MagicBands so amazing?
Magic! The experience of using your MagicBand is only getting better and better as Disney updates and integrates the technology. The sheer convenience of not having to carry credit cards, tickets, hotel keys around the resort is a win. Don't forget how easy redeeming dining credits or FASTPASS will be by going "Mickey to Mickey." And, as my party discovered, the newer attractions such as Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will snap not only ride photos and put them on your app but also fun little ride videos for you to enjoy later. It's the magic that makes Disney's MagicBands so amazing, and whether your first time using one or your 100th, you've got to agree that Disney's got this magic technology down to a science of customer service.

Luke Bryan Shares Seductive New Single, Admits Wife Picks Halloween Costume
Watch the video for 'What She Wants Tonight'
Bob Diehl
The woman at the heart of Luke Bryan's seductive new single is in control, and he's not going to stop her.
"She wants my hands on her body. She wants to burn like she's made of fire," Bryan sings on the chorus that neatly sums up "What She Wants Tonight." The passionate lyrics propel a song that has a bit of a rock feel to it. Bryan co-wrote it with Ross Copperman, Hillary Lindsey and Jon Note.
"I have wanted to get together with this group of writers for a long time," Bryan said in a statement. "We came up with some really infectious hooks for this song and I think women listeners are going to like that the girl in the song controls the dynamic of the situation. I've been wanting to get a big rocking tempo out for some time and this is certainly it."
The accompanying video brings the scenario to life – with a shocking twist at the end.
Another one of the lyrics in the new song is "I get to be what she wants tonight," which also perfectly describes Bryan's upcoming Halloween situation. He said his wife is in charge of picking his costume and he won't know what it is until she gives it to him.
"I heard that it's feathery this year," he joked to reporters backstage at the Grand Ole Opry this week. "My tradition for Halloween is Caroline picks the outfit," Bryan added last year. "I never know what I'm wearing… One year I dressed up as the old lady, and she dressed up as, she called herself a dirty old man. So, she went around acting like an old man saying snide comments to everybody. That was a fun one. The main thing is Caroline, she loves Halloween and always has."

7 Stories That Made Task & Purpose's Incredible Year

By Lauren Katzenberg | Published Dec 30, 2014 6:03 PM
Here at Task & Purpose, we want thank everyone for a hugely successful year. With the dedication of active-duty and retired military members alike who make up our 85-plus contributors network, and a committed readership that has helped share and promote our stories, Task & Purpose is now reaching hundreds of thousands of people around the country every month.
When we first launched in early 2014, we recognized a growing need in the digital space for a forum geared toward the next great generation of American veterans — content for service members by service members. Task & Purpose has since grown into a leading publication of breaking news, personal narratives, and hard analysis of trends and issues in the armed services.
Editor-in-Chief Brian Jones and I have big plans, and even bigger stories, in the works for 2015, but before we wrap up the year, we wanted to share the top Task & Purpose articles of 2014 that helped that make this incredible year happen.
The Sexist Facebook Movement The Marine Corps Can't Stop
One of Task & Purpose's most controversial articles of the year was a 6,000-word investigative report into the growing trend of public Facebook pages targeted toward service members that promote "so-called jokes about rape, race, and homophobia." Run anonymously, these pages claim to depict junior enlisted infantry culture, when in reality, they perpetuate a dangerous and destructive mindset that poisons the military as a whole.
'Let The Damn Army Clean Up The Mess:' An (Almost) Story Of Suicide
In 2013, a VA report revealed that approximately 22 American veterans died by suicide a day in 2010, and a 2014 report showed that this rate among male veterans under 30 had increased by 44% in 2011. These statistics paint a devastating picture. Earlier this month Task & Purpose's D.C. correspondent Stephen Carlson shared his own gripping story of nearly taking his life: "… a suffocating feeling of damnation, of utter hopelessness kept creeping over me that I couldn't shake off, and I couldn't figure out why. Maybe it was a weight I didn't even know I was carrying." Carlson's account demonstrates how the desperation that is leading so many of our veterans to take their own lives is one of the casualties of war fought far too long by too many.
Sorry, The Presidential Salute Isn't A Real Thing
In September, much of the U.S. population was infuriated when President Barack Obama debarked Marine One with a cup of coffee in his hand, and saluted the Marine standing by the helicopter with the cup. Why the White House published a photo of the incident on Instagram, we'll never know, but Brian dropped some knowledge and informed readers that no regulation stipulates U.S. presidents must salute the troops. In fact, for the first 192 years of our republic, it didn't happen, and essentially former President Ronald Reagan just made it up in 1981. Bottom line: If you're going to get pissed at the president for something, there are plenty of issues more pertinent to than the latte salute.
10 Things You Probably Never Knew About Full Metal Jacket
Most of us have seen the classic film Full Metal Jacket, but did you know that the movie was filmed in England? Or that the author of the book "The Short Timers," which the movie was based on, called R. Lee Ermey, who played the iconic role of Gunnery Sgt. Hartman, "a fucking pogue lifer?" If not, then this July article should be pretty insightful, and amusing.
Unconventional Relationships Are The New Normal Within Military Families
Today, more than 200,000 women serve in our nation's armed forces, and with that number ever increasing, the dynamic of the military family is changing. "It's no longer a rarity to see a female service member accompanied to a military social function with her male counterpart who is wearing a tuxedo," wrote contributor Nicole Schwegman in May. It's time to celebrate the diversity that makes up our military ranks, and by extension, the diversity that is increasingly contributing to a new kind of military family.
Here's How The AR-15 Grew To Become America's Favorite Firearm
In one of his first articles for Task & Purpose, Christian Beekman offered up a great history of the AR-15 rifle, its close relationship with the military, and how it became the most popular firearm in America. While the AR-15 has been thrust to the forefront of the American gun control debate, it's clear this little black rifle isn't going anywhere.
9 Military Sayings That Will Get You Laughed Out Of A Job Interview
This article, written by former Navy SEAL, and current McChrystal Group consultant, Jeff Boss in June, provided our readers with some hard truth about what not to say during a civilian job interview, unless you're actively trying not to get the job. In case you haven't read it yet, referring to a company's competition as the "enemy" is a big No-No.

Har Netofa (: הר נטופה) je vrch v horském pásu Harej Jatvat o nadmořské výšce 526 metrů v severním Izraeli, v Dolní Galileji.

Nachází se cca 2 kilometry jižně od města Dejr Channa. Má podobu částečně zalesněného kopce, jehož vrcholová partie je ale stavebně využita a stojí na ní vesnice Hararit. Na jižní straně terén prudce spadá do údolí Bejt Netofa, přičemž výškový rozdíl mezi jeho dnem a vrcholkem hory přesahuje 350 metrů. Výrazné je i klesání východních úbočí hory, směrem k vádí Nachal Calmon. Ve svahu se zde nachází i pramen Ajn al-Nachla (עין א-נחלה). Na západní straně hory začíná Vádí al-Chasin a za ním sousední hora Har Avtalijon. Severní svahy pozvolna klesají k městu Dejr Channa. Na východním okraji vrcholové plošiny byla v roce 1965 knězem Jakobem Wilbrandem z Nizozemska zřízena poustevna, dnes malý klášter. Jeho vznik byl inspirován příběhy věznění v koncentračním táboře a utrpení Židů během holokaustu, které Jakob Wilbrand slýchal od svého strýce. Rozhodl se pak zde zbudovat místo pro meditaci.

Iran Says It Killed 'Rioters' in Deadliest Unrest in Decades
AP News News World
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran acknowledged for the first time Tuesday that its security forces shot and killed protesters across the country to put down demonstrations last month over the sharply spiking price of gasoline, the deadliest unrest to hit the country since the turmoil of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
A report by Iranian state television sought to portray those killed as "rioters" or foreign-backed insurgents who threatened military posts, oil tanks and the public. It acknowledged that the violence also killed passers-by, security forces and peaceful protesters without assigning blame.
However, online videos of demonstrations purport to show security forces firing machine guns and rifles at crowds. Amnesty International believes the unrest beginning in mid-November and crackdown that followed killed at least 208 people. An Iranian judiciary official disputed the toll Tuesday as "sheer lies," without offering any evidence to support his position.
Related Story: Iran: The End of the Mullahs
The demonstrations show the widespread economic discontent gripping Iran since May 2018, when President Donald Trump imposed crushing sanctions after unilaterally withdrawing the United States from the nuclear deal that Tehran struck with world powers. Trump himself, speaking to journalists before a NATO summit in London, claimed without evidence Iran has killed "thousands."
The demonstrations followed months of attacks across the Middle East that the U.S. blames on Tehran. Meanwhile, Iran has begun breaking the limits of the nuclear deal in hopes of pressuring Europe into finding a way for Tehran to sell its crude oil abroad despite the American sanctions.
The state TV report alleged that some of those killed were "rioters who have attacked sensitive or military centers with firearms or knives or have taken hostages in some areas." Some sought to access arsenals inside the police and military posts, the report said.
Online Video Purportedly From the Area Showed Peaceful Protests
In one case, the report said security forces confronted a separatist group armed with "semi-heavy weapons" in the city of Mahshahr in Iran's southwestern Khuzestan province.
"The marshes you see behind me and on the right are where hostile groups were hiding and shooting at the police, but praise to Allah, the armed forces deftly and vigilantly came to the field and foiled their plots." — Mahshahr police chief Col. Reza Papi
The Arab population of the surrounding oil-rich province long has complained of discrimination by Iran's central government, and insurgent groups have attacked oil pipelines there. Iran blamed both area separatists and the Islamic State group for an attack on a military parade in the region in September 2018 that killed at least 25 people.
Online video purportedly from the area showed peaceful protests, as well as clashes between demonstrators and security forces, although the protesters appeared to be armed largely with rocks and debris.
"The marshes you see behind me and on the right are where hostile groups were hiding and shooting at the police, but praise to Allah, the armed forces deftly and vigilantly came to the field and foiled their plots," Mahshahr police chief Col. Reza Papi said in the report.
Separately, a detainee shot and killed a police officer in the province Tuesday, state TV said, without elaborating.
State TV also acknowledged that security forces confronted "rioters" during the protests in Tehran, as well as in the cities of Shiraz and Sirjan. It also mentioned the Tehran suburb of Shahriar, where Amnesty on Monday said there had been "dozens of deaths." It described the suburb as likely one of the areas with the highest death toll in the unrest. Shahriar has seen heavy protests.
Amnesty offered no breakdown for the deaths elsewhere in the country, although it said "the real figure is likely to be higher."
Death Toll of at Least 208 Makes It the Bloodiest Unrest in Iran Since the Time of the Islamic Revolution
Judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili disputed Amnesty's death toll.
"I bluntly say that numbers and figures given by hostile groups are sheer lies," he told reporters. "Real statistics are seriously different from what they announce, and numbers are far less than what they claim."
"I bluntly say that numbers and figures given by hostile groups are sheer lies. Real statistics are seriously different from what they announce, and numbers are far less than what they claim." — Judiciary Spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili
However, Esmaili — like every other Iranian official since the crackdown — offered no evidence to support his claim, nor did he give any information on casualties. A U.N. agency also has said it fears the unrest may have killed "a significant number of people."
He also said the "majority of the detainees" from the protests had been released, without offering any numbers. One lawmaker previously said he thought over 7,000 people had been arrested.
The death toll of at least 208 makes it the bloodiest unrest in Iran since the time of the Islamic Revolution. The 2009 Green Movement protests that followed a disputed presidential election drew millions to the streets but saw far less killing.
The demonstrations began Nov. 15 after the government raised minimum gasoline prices by 50% to 15,000 Iranian rials per liter. That's 12 cents a liter, or about 50 cents a gallon. After a monthly 60-liter quota, it costs 30,000 rials a liter. That's nearly 24 cents a liter or 90 cents a gallon. An average gallon of regular gas in the U.S. costs $2.58 by comparison, according to AAA.
Cheap gasoline is practically considered a birthright in Iran, home to the world's fourth-largest crude oil reserves despite decades of economic woes. That disparity, especially given its oil wealth, fueled the anger felt by demonstrators.
Effect of U.S. Sanctions on Iranian Economy
Iranians have seen their savings chewed away by the rial's collapse from 32,000 to $1 at the time of the 2015 nuclear accord to 127,000 to $1 today under the renewed U.S. sanctions. The cost of daily staples also has risen.
On Tuesday, Trump kept up the pressure, alleging without evidence that Iran was "killing perhaps thousands and thousands of people right now as we speak." The protests largely have subsided, and no group has offered estimates that high.
"I think it's a terrible thing and I think the world has to be watching," Trump said.
Sitting beside French President Emmanuel Macron later, Trump told journalists that Iran is having "massive riots and protests all over the country."
Asked if the U.S. supported the protesters, Trump said: "I don't want to comment on that, but the answer is no." He later clarified he meant America offered them no financial support, though it backed their aspirations.
In Tehran, President Hassan Rouhani met with Yusuf bin Alawi, Oman's minister responsible for foreign affairs. Alawi met U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last week in Washington. Oman, a sultanate on the eastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula, has served as an interlocutor between Iran and the U.S. in the past.
Related Story: Iran Supreme Leader Claims Protests a US-Backed 'Conspiracy'
Rouhani said the U.S. offers only slogans in its speeches that have led nowhere, while trying to cut deals in private that go against them.
Rouhani may end up traveling to Tokyo for a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to seek a way to save the nuclear deal, the Kyodo news agency reported, citing an anonymous official. Abe traveled to Iran in June but received a lecture from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on how Trump couldn't be trusted. During that meeting, a suspected Iranian limpet mine attack damaged a Japanese oil tanker.
