Der Hassan-Turm (franz. tour hassan; ) ist das unvollendet gebliebene Minarett der ebenfalls unvollendeten Großen Moschee in der marokkanischen Hauptstadt Rabat.

Geschichte
Die Arbeiten am Moscheebau wurden unter dem Almohaden-Herrscher Yaʿqūb al-Mansūr gegen Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts begonnen; nach seinem Tod (1199) wurden die Baumaßnahmen für immer eingestellt. Das große Teile der Iberischen Halbinsel und Nordafrikas umfassende Almohadenreich zerfiel und auch die Stadt Rabat verlor schnell an Bedeutung, die sie erst in der französischen Kolonialzeit und nach der Unabhängigkeit Marokkos (1956) wiedererlangte.

Architektur

Moscheebau
Der aus Stampflehm errichtete Außenbau ist mit den Grundmaßen von ca. 180 × 139 Metern größer als alle anderen Moscheen des Maghreb – größer auch als die Mezquita von Córdoba (ca. 175 × 128 Meter). Die Moschee wurde sehr wahrscheinlich – in Anlehnung an die bedeutendsten Moscheen des islamischen Westens (Córdoba, Kairouan) – als Säulenmoschee konzipiert, wobei die über 300 steinernen Säulen jedoch – in Ermangelung der früher verwendeten antiken monolithischen Spolien – aus Teilen (Säulentrommeln mit aufliegenden Kämpferplatten) zusammengesetzt sind. Zur Belichtung und Belüftung des großen Moscheeraums waren drei vergleichsweise große offene Innenhöfe geplant, doch die weitaus größte Fläche sollte überdacht werden und als Gebetssaal für etwa 50.000 Gläubige dienen. Das Mittelschiff ist im Vergleich zu den Seitenschiffen leicht verbreitert; anstelle eines – wie allgemein üblich – einzelnen Querschiffs vor der Qibla-Wand waren gleich drei geplant.

Minarett
Das aus Hausteinen errichtete Minarett mit seinen Rampen im Innern erhebt sich genau gegenüber der geplanten Mihrab-Nische – eine Ausnahme unter den marokkanischen Moscheen, bei denen üblicherweise eine Eckplatzierung des Minaretts zu beobachten ist. In Anbetracht der Grundmaße von knapp 16 × 16 Metern sollte eine Gesamthöhe des Minaretts von über 80 Metern erreicht werden – seine heutige Höhe beträgt jedoch nur 44 Meter. Wie bei allen frühen Minaretten des Maghreb ist der untere Bereich des Turmschafts undekoriert; der mittlere Bereich zeigt verschieden gestaltete Blendbögen, die aber – anders als noch bei der Koutoubia-Moschee in Marrakesch – auf gleicher Höhe angeordnet sind. Der obere Bereich sollte vollständig und einheitlich mit einem potentiell unendlichen Rautenmuster überzogen werden, welches aus sich unablässig überschneidenden Bögen entwickelt, die auf kleinen Säulchen aufruhen. Erst am Minarett der Kasbah-Moschee in Marrakesch wurde eine völlig einheitliche ornamentale Gestaltung des Turms verwirklicht.

Bedeutung
Die Große Moschee von Rabat hätte mit ihren Dimensionen alle anderen Moscheen des Maghreb klar übertroffen – ein deutliches Zeichen für den Großmachtanspruch der Almohaden während ihrer Blütezeit. Die gewaltige Anlage ist heutzutage das Wahrzeichen der Stadt Rabat und ein beliebtes Ziel vieler Marokkaner und Touristen.

Im Osten des Moschee-Komplexes wurde in den 1960er Jahren das Mausoleum für Mohammed V. (1956–1961), dem ersten König Marokkos nach dem Ende der Kolonialzeit, von dem vietnamesischen Architekten Vo Tuan geplant und erbaut. Auch sein Sohn und Nachfolger Hassan II. (1961–1999) ist hier bestattet.

All our cowhides are from South America. South American cowhides are seen as the best cowhides due to the mild weather, rich soils and large range of different breeds, which all result in silky and supple, high quality hides with a diverse range of patterns and styles.
To add to this, South America is regarded globally as the best cowhide tanning processor. All of our hides are chromium-tanned (considered the highest quality tanning process) in South America to ensure the best quality tanning and give the utmost durability.
Because of the natural shape of cowhides, this can make it difficult to measure accurately, so measurements of hides are taken from the longest and widest points. Measurements are listed with each Cowhide, these should be used as a guide to their size.
When purchasing a cowhide it is important to understand that they are a natural animal skin product. When your item is packaged it will be carefully folded, this may lead to a few folding creases on the hide. Over a small period of time and with normal floor use, these creases will come out naturally.
Cowhides, being a natural product may wear over time, depending if it has heavy traffic across it. We would recommend from time to time to rotate your rug or move it.
Cowhide rugs are easy to look after and care for. If you care for and maintain your rug properly, it will bring you a lifetime of use. The cleaning of a cowhide is a simple process. Soak up any spills on the rug as soon as possible with a paper towel, sponge or towel. For general cleaning, simply vacuum or just shake outside to remove dust and dirt. To spot clean, wipe with a damp cloth or sponge with a small amount of mild shampoo in the direction of the hair. Remember, cowhides should not be made wet, ensure to avoid this.
You can fold your cowhide, but some time will be needed after being unfolded for it to relax. Any creases will come out after some days of laying flat. You can use heavy weights such as books to speed up the process. You could also steam iron the cowhide on the underside or hair side, to reduce any such creases more quickly.

Residents warned of flash floods as rains expected to continue
As the end of rainy season approaches, the Department of Water and Sanitation has advised people who live in areas experiencing severe thunderstorms to be careful of localised flash floods.
"Communities and businesses should remain vigilant at all times and follow hail and flood warnings. February and March are traditional wet months when South Africa experiences her last rains of the season," the department said.
The department advised residents to be extra cautious and stay indoors in the event of flash floods happening in their areas. The department also urged residents to avoid crossing swollen rivers and streams.
According to the department's weekly report, heavy showers have raised dam levels to 62.6% this week.
'More rain expected over the weekend'
The South African Weather Services has predicted more rain until this weekend, raising fears of possible floods in some areas, the department said.
Eastern Cape residents breathed a sigh of relief as intermittent rains raised their dam levels from 58% to 59.5%. However, Makhanda Dam continued with its extreme slide as the local municipality began tinkering water to locals to alleviate the situation.
Dam levels in the Western Cape have decreased from 46.7% to 45.2%, while KwaZulu-Natal's Umgeni System, which comprises Albert Falls, Nagle and Inanda dams, increased from 59% last week to 59.3%.
Although the Vaal Dam in Gauteng fell from 72% to 71.1%, the department, however, said with the predicted rainfall, the dam is expected to rise quite substantially.
With 11 182.8 cubic metres, Free State has managed to store the highest amount of water in its reservoirs this week. The province's dam levels were recorded at 70.1%.
Dam levels in the North West decreased to 58%, while the Northern Cape recorded 68%. Limpopo province is currently at 61.2%. In Mpumalanga, dam levels increased from 68.8% to 69.5%. – SAnews.gov.za

Tigers minor-league report: Boyd's hot, Rondon's not
Lynn Henning
TRIPLE A TOLEDO
Who's hot …
Matt Boyd, LH starter: Figure on him slipping into Detroit's rotation, if not regularly in 2016, certainly by 2017. He could pitch for the Tigers now. But it probably won't hurt Boyd, who in eight starts for the Mud Hens has a 2.06 ERA and 1.15 WHIP, to put some added luster on his four-pitch repertoire. Boyd is 25 and was one of the prizes won from the Blue Jays in last July's trade of David Price.
Preston Guilmet, RH reliever: The Tigers signed him as a minor-league free agent after some earlier time with the Indians, Rays and Brewers, so he's not technically a prospect. But a team can't ignore his Toledo numbers: 0.90 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. The breakdown: 18 games, 20 innings, 19 hits, 16 strikeouts, two walks. Guilmet, 28, is 6-2, 200, and was a ninth-round pick by the Indians in 2009.
And who's not …
Bruce Rondon, RH reliever: Feel free to wonder if it will ever straighten out for Rondon. His last appearance, Thursday, was an example of Rondon's confounding ways: two innings, three hits, two runs, three walks, three strikeouts. On the season: 10 games, 10.2 innings, 12 hits, 10 walks, 14 strikeouts.
Alexander, Ravenelle cruising but Tigers will be patient
DOUBLE A ERIE
JaCoby Jones, CF/3B: Back at it following his suspension (50 games) for failing a drug test, Jones is looking like the versatile guy with a heavy bat the Tigers thought they were getting last July when they insisted on him as payment from the Pirates for reliever Joakim Soria. Jones was batting .333, with three doubles, after his first five games with the SeaWolves. He turned 24 earlier this month, is 6-2, 205, and was a third-round grab by the Pirates in 2013. Jones played at Louisiana State.
Joe Mantiply, LH reliever: Steady, effective situational left-hander who could easily make it to Detroit. Numbers after 18 games for the SeaWolves: 1.93 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, .224 opposing batting average, 18.2 innings, 19 strikeouts, seven walks. Mantiply was a 27th-round pick in 2013 (Virginia Tech). He's 6-4, 215.
Dominic Ficociello, 1B: He'll heat up. But it has not been an easy spring for this switch-hitter, who is 6-4, 200, and who was a 12th-round pick by the Tigers in 2013 (Arkansas). Ficociello is batting .229 in his last 10 games and .233 on the season.
SINGLE A LAKELAND
Joe Jimenez, RH reliever: Bags are all but packed for Double A Erie. He still hasn't allowed a run in 15 games spanning 15.1 innings. The lowdown: five hits, 23 strikeouts, four walks. Jimenez entered the year as one of the Tigers' very best prospects and burnishes his reputation every trip to the mound. He is 21, and is 6-3, 220.
Grayson Greiner, C: Nice year for a catcher who could shoot his way back into a Top Tigers Prospects slot. Greiner, 23, is batting .353 in his last 10 games and .301 on the year. He is large (6-6, 220), swings right-handed, and was a third-round draft pick in 2014 (South Carolina).
A.J. Simcox, SS: Cold spell for Simcox: .119 in his last 10 games. Doesn't figure to last long for a prospect who last June was the Tigers' 14th-round choice from the University of Tennessee.
SINGLE A WEST MICHIGAN
Matt Hall, LH starter: Midwest League batters aren't enjoying Hall's blue-chip curveball. He has a 0.69 ERA and 0.94 WHIP after seven starts. Details: 39.1 innings, 27 hits, 43 strikeouts, 10 walks. Hall, 22, was a sixth-round haul last June from Missouri State.
Beau Burrows, RH starter: Rarely walks a batter, strikes out his share, and gives up less than a hit per inning. Burrows, who was last June's first-round Tigers pick, is doing fine at age 19: 2.70 in seven starts, 0.99 WHIP. He is 6-2, 200.
Steven Fuentes, SS: His batting stats haven't made a great deal of sense when Fuentes, a switch-hitter, appeared earlier in his Tigers life to be a potentially hot talent. But in his last 10 games, Fuentes, 21, is batting .030, and .174 for the year.

Posner family continues tradition of giving with $5M gift to CMU
March 9, 2016, 8:56 pm 0 Edit

The Posner family of Pittsburgh recently gave $5 million to Carnegie Mellon University. The gift, made in memory of Helen and Henry Posner Jr., will create at least five undergraduate scholarships per year. These scholarships, known as Presidential Scholarships, recognize a student's outstanding academic success and future potential.
"The gift is from our family, from Henry's brothers as well as from Henry and me," said Anne Molloy, Carnegie Mellon University trustee and wife of Henry Posner III. "We wanted to do something meaningful in memory or our parents.
"One organization that both Helen and Henry thought very highly of was Carnegie Mellon University," she continued. "Henry Posner Jr. was a life member and life trustee. He didn't sit on a lot of boards, but he thought very highly of the leadership and students at the university.
"My mother-in-law was trying to find a home for the Henry Posner Sr. and Ida Posner Rare Book and Miniature Collection and concluded that Carnegie Mellon University was a perfect match."
For several generations the Posner family has given to Carnegie Mellon University. In 1978, Helen and Henry Posner Jr. deeded his parents' personal collection of rare books and artifacts to Carnegie Mellon's University Library. Included in the gift was a 1494 letter from Christopher Columbus to the Treasurer of Spain describing his voyage to America, a 1663 edition of the Third Folio of Shakespeare, a first printing of the United States Bill of Rights and Washington Irving's 1849 "The Sketch Book."
In 2004, the family built Posner Center, a LEED-certified facility that provides museum-quality storage and exhibit space as well as houses the Carnegie Mellon University board of trustees. The family also funded digitization of the Posner Memorial Collection and supported development of the Pittsburgh Jewish Newspaper Project — a digitized collection of Pittsburgh's historical Jewish newspapers: the Jewish Criterion (1895-1962), the American Jewish Outlook (1934-1962), the Y-JCC series (1926-1975) and The Jewish Chronicle (1962-2010).
Along with the Posner family's recent gift, Molloy noted that the family funds two internships each year for CMU students to work with the Posner collection and perform research in an area of interest.
Participating students receive a $3,000 stipend to complete a one-semester internship of 15 hours per week researching and creating an exhibit in collaboration with librarians.
The purpose of the internship is to ensure that the books do more than "sit on a shelf in a vault," said Molloy. "How are these containers of information useful today? What can we learn from them today?"
Molloy believes that the family's recent donation would have made her in-laws proud.
"The gift is in memory of Helen and Henry Posner Jr., and I believe that they would be very pleased that the family is supporting the undergraduate education at the university," she said, and added that they were great believers in higher education.
"The classic American story is immigrants arriving with no money and several generations later there being sufficient means created to pay it forward, and that's what's going on here," noted Posner III. "The reason that there was a press release about this, the reason why we were happy to do this was hopefully to inspire others.
"It's a wonderful way to memorialize someone, it's something that will keep on giving," he added. "You're not going to see us on the benefit circuit, but in this particular case, it was a chance to lead by example. And by having a name by a donation, it's an inspiration to others."
Molloy and Posner hope that their gift not only inspires others to contribute to the university, but aids the advancement of Carnegie Mellon.
One of the challenges that the university faces is that it wants to build the most diverse student body, and it wants the best students. But not everyone can write that check for tuition and room and board to go to CMU, said Molloy.
"There are some absolutely fabulous students who have to go elsewhere because they don't have financial resources," she said. "One of president Subra Suresh's major initiatives was to say, 'Hey, we need to substantially increase funding for scholarship and fellowships available if we are serious about having the best and most diverse student body.' That initiative is going strong, and we are very happy to contribute to it. Obviously, it helps the students."
Molloy noted that maintaining a culturally, ethnically and economically diverse student body benefits the university at large. "It's good for everybody."
Suresh thanked the Posners in a written statement and noted the commitment to diversity.
"We thank the Posner family for their generous gift, which will help expand access to a CMU education for many students, allowing us to create an even more diverse student body. Their commitment testifies to the importance of this mission."
Molloy claimed that she has particular hopes for those receiving the Presidential Scholarships.
Apart from the recipients having a very successful and challenging experience at CMU, she hopes that they "persist to graduation, get their degree and have a positive experience doing so, make some lifelong friends and build a connection that will last going forward with the university, going forward as alums."
"And" she added, "hopefully, someday they will be in a position to pay it forward as well."

Pandora in the Congo
by Albert Sanchez Pinol Translated from Catalan by Mara Faye Lethem
"An action-packed adventure story in the best Rider Haggard tradition. It is also a parody of such novels and a sophisticated reflection on the imaginative power of literature. . . . Sánchez Piñol's originality lies in his themes and excellently structured plot. This is an impressive and most unusual novel." —The Independent
Publication Date March 10, 2009
Albert Sánchez Piñol was born in Barcelona in 1965. He is the author of Cold Skin, which has been translated into fifteen languages and won the Ojo Critico de Narrativa prize upon publication in 2003.
Read More About Albert Sanchez Pinol
A rollicking, retro-adventure yarn set in the dark heart of Africa, Pandora in the Congo follows a gold mining expedition gone horribly wrong, a netherworld of ungodly creatures, and an in-over-his-head pulp fiction ghostwriter, bringing the reader to the furthest and wildest realms of the imagination.
The trees dominated everything. There was no desert, no ocean, no tundra that could compare. And, in that moment, at the top of that tree, Marcus knew the world could be a very large place, but that the Congo would always be larger than the world. Out loud he said, "My God, where are we going?" I think that Marcus sensed the answer: on beyond the grace of God.
It is 1914 when Marcus Garvey, a bedraggled British manservant, emerges from the depths of the Belgian Congo. He is the sole survivor of an ill-fated mining expedition in which both his masters, William and Richard Craver, died and from which their African porters unexpectedly fled. Garvey returns to London carrying two diamonds of extraordinary size, spinning a story too unspeakably terrifying to be believed. He is promptly arrested. Tommy Thompson, a London ghostwriter for a ghostwriter for a ghostwriter (don't ask!), is approached by his attorney to document Garvey's unholy African odyssey. From his prison cell awaiting the murder trial, Garvey recounts the mind-boggling horror that the Craver mining expedition encountered in the dark recesses of the Belgian Congo. Exactly how did the Craver brothers die? What unearthly forces would drive men to commit such acts of immeasurable brutality? Could love have possibly bloomed in the heart of such darkness? Only Tommy can untangle the mysteries of the Garvey case. A brilliant literary pastiche and tongue-in-cheek pulp African adventure with echoes of Heart of Darkness and King Solomon's Mines, Pandora in the Congo is, at its heart, a fabulist literary exploration of imagination, reminding us that there is rarely one version to any story, and always more than meets the eye.

"Applying the differential polarities of structural anthropology to all sorts of expectations—racial, cultural, literary—it melds the ironies of Christopher Hope's Darkest England with the shape-shifting brio of Richard Flanagan's Gould's Book of Fish. Going beyond particular postcolonial politics (as might detain a British or Commonwealth writer) into that realm of hyperbolic fabulation where Umberto Eco has long made safari, Pandora in the Congo marks Sánchez Piñol's emergence as a significant European writer." —The Guardian
"[A] fanciful metafiction that lampoons adventure stories while telling one with great enthusiasm . . . Piñol has layers of commentary at work, touching on perception, the nature of literature, the need for heroes and the faults of hubris. It's a smart book, and Piñol poses piercing questions; the adventure yarn that ties it all together is great entertainment." —Publishers Weekly
"Sánchez Piñol follows up his impressive first novel, Cold Skin, with another feat of literary fabulism that far exceeds his debut in imagination and scope . . . His primary intent, however, is giving his readers their money's worth in entertainment value. This is a work that will appeal to Ph.D.s and Indiana Jones obsessives alike. Recommended for all libraries." —Library Journal
"A wonderful oddity . . . an adventure yarn that could stand alongside the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs." —The Times (London)
"Full of sci-fi happenings and tall tales, Albert Sánchez Piñol's sparky romp is addictive." —Finacial Times
"A rip-roaring historical adventure." —Scotland On Sunday
"It lets us know the worst, and yet we can still value the morally ambiguous product of Tommy's idealism, talent, and unselfish love." —The Times Literary Supplement
The next few days set everyone's nerves on edge. The screams that came out of the mine at night were a thermometer of the noises within. Some nights the racket didn't stop until daybreak. William didn't want to deal with it at all. He ordered Marcus and Pepe to take care of the incidents at night. They were only to notify him in the case of a real emergency.
Marcus couldn't stand waking up with nightmares. Now he found out there was something worse: waking up for other people's nightmares. He could only sleep for a little while, until the explosions of howls ravaged his mind. The sound travelled from the mine's opening and spread through the clearing. There were one hundred mouths shrieking desperately, like pigs that had a knife to the neck. Marcus opened his eyes, disconcerted, terrified, wet with a sickly sweat. His numb brain had trouble accepting what was going on. He learned to ask himself four questions before moving: "Who am I? Where am I? Who's screaming? Why are they waking me up?" And he answered: "I'm Marcus Garvey. I'm in the Congo. I'm an overseer of Negroes. The Negroes are screaming because they're afraid of a Tecton attack." And when he had obtained those four answers he told himself: "Calm down, everything's normal."

City Agrees To $25,000 Payout In Rare Driving While Black Settlement
Lonnie Porter had a video to prove his case.
Written By nigelroberts1
ABlack driver was correct when he predicted in his December 2017 Facebook live video that Iowa police would stop him for no good reason—and now he's getting paid for the violation of his rights.
Data shows that police officers across the nation disproportionately pull over Black drivers for minor offenses—real or imagined. They use it as a pretext to conduct unconstitutional searches, yet relatively few of the many instances wind up in court, much less with a settlement.

Des Moines, Iowa officials agreed on Tuesday to settle Lonnie Porter's lawsuit for $25,000, the Des Moines Register reported.
Porter had a critical piece of evidence from his Dec. 6 encounter with the Des Moines police officer: a video that captured exactly what happened.
The first 5 minutes of the video are especially worth watching. Lonnie Porter points out he's doing nothing, but bets the viewer that the police will stop him on a pretext. #racialprofiling https://t.co/g78eY51e4D
— ACLU of Iowa (@ACLUiowa) October 3, 2018
In the 13-minute long Facebook live video, Porter began recording before Officer Sean O'Neill pulled him over. The officer told the 41-year-old driver that his temporary license plate was not fully visible. However, the video showed that the paper tag, typically given for new vehicle purchases, was displayed in the back window. In the video and the lawsuit, Porter said the stop was bogus.
"You can't see the date?" Porter asks the officer. "I get it. I get it. I get it. You see what I'm talking about, Facebook?"
Ultimately, the officer did not write a ticket.
That driving while Black incident is all too common. A Black driver is about 31 percent more likely to get pulled over by an officer than a white driver, according to the Washington Post. At the same time, Cops are more likely to stop Black drivers for vehicle defects, such as a broken taillight, or for a records check than other races. Civil liberties organizations call those incidents "pretext stops" that are used to justify a search.
"Pretextual traffic stops are not only unfair, but they also drive system-wide racial disparities on the basis of race. They are inherently dishonest, and for people of color, we've seen too many times that they are dangerous," Mark Stringer, ACLU of Iowa executive director, told NewsOne. For every police encounter that results in injury or death, there are thousands more that don't, but those stops still lead to fear and distrust in police.
Like many police departments, law enforcement agencies across Iowa don't collect race data for all stops made by their officers, Stringer noted.
"We believe they should. Not just for arrests or where officers issue a ticket but for all stops—including ones where no ticket is issued or no arrest is made–to give a more complete picture of what's going on in terms of policing in Des Moines," he added.
A lack of evidence often makes it difficult to win driving while Black lawsuits. As with Porter's case, a cellphone video helped a Black driver and his brother to win a $212,000 settlement from Colorado Springs officials in 2017.
The Des Moines Police Department denied that O'Neill racially profiled Porter. But then, these denials from the police are typical.

Family nightshade family. There are many types of pepper which differ in a big variety of forms, the sizes of fruits and use. In kitchen gardens two unlike groups of grades of pepper are cultivated: vegetable (sweet) pepper and bitter (spicy) pepper, sometimes consider them even as separate cultures. In sweet pepper very high content of vitamin C is, more, than in a citrus that does it by the most valuable dietary product. Bitter pepper is used as seasoning and also in the medicinal purposes in a type of tinctures (most often spirit), however in view of its sharpness and ability to render irritant action on mucous membranes of a stomach at some diseases it, on the contrary, it is impossible to use including as seasoning. Also its infusions can be used for protection of other garden cultures against wreckers. For record: some grades of hot pepper are considered first of all as decorative and are grown up in rooms. Pepper is used in food on reaching a so-called technical maturity of fruits — they have to be slightly immature.
• Requirements to the soil. Loamy soils with neutral reaction are preferable, are admissible — with subacidic reaction. The others need melioration.
• Requirements to humidity. Hygrophilous culture, in droughty areas is required irrigation.
• Requirements to light. The photophilous plant, best of all grows on the sites which are well lit with the sun.
• Cultivation temperatures. Thermophilic culture, badly transfers wind — in the open ground can be only in the places which are well protected from wind. Does not suffer frosts. Seeds sprout at a temperature from +15 "Page.
• Geographical restrictions at cultivation on zones and regions. By origin pepper — a tropical plant (the homeland — America) therefore completely in the open ground it can be cultivated only in the few areas. Already in Donbass pepper is grown up only in the rassadny way. However as the culture of the closed soil pepper, especially bitter, has much wider geography. Some grades are grown up in the closed winter greenhouses all season. Enough the room culture of decorative hot pepper at which climatic conditions cease to play an important role was widely adopted.
There is a large number of grades of pepper, especially sweet. Because it is the culture of mainly closed soil (where it is told about the open ground, the possibility of jumping of seedling in it at the end of May — the beginning of June is meant, other grades can contain in the greenhouse or in the film shelter and in the summer), an opportunity to cultivate pepper in greenhouses plays nearly a large role, than division into districts. The factor defining for successful cultivation is duration of the vegetative period (maturing terms) of this or that grade in comparison with duration warm (with temperatures not below 10 — 15 °C), but not just bezmorozny period in your area.


Chandan Das Jun 11, The Bulgarian-Canadian actress has not officially said anything yet regarding her love life, but according to multiple reports she seems to have moved on.

Welcome to the Handprint the Alphabet series for kids! We're looking to learn and get creative with our preschoolers this summer. Today is letter "I." While there are lots of objects we could do, today, "I" is for Ice Cream Cone! Today's project involves painting just the palm of one hand. Be sure to pop over and check out my Tips for Great Handprint Art with Kids post if you've never done handprint art with preschoolers before. I share a few pointers plus my go-to supplies!
Have the child choose which palm that they want painted. Apply a thick coat of pink paint to half of the palm. Apply a thick coat of brown paint on the other half of the palm. Lay the hand in the center of the paper, with it slightly angled. Apply gentle pressure to the hand, and then lift it up. Clean off the hand. Let the paint dry completely.
If you have an older child (you know, one who is old enough to think handprint crafts are baby-ish but also young enough to want to be involved), getting them to draw the cone is a good way to include them. For this, I used a darker yellow marker to draw the cone and a brown to draw light lines (like a waffle cone). Use the pencil to draw the cone and then trace it with the markers if you wish.
Thanks for following along, and I'll see you back on tomorrow with the letter "J!" I'd love to hear if you are joining in on the series with your kiddo. Feel free to post photos on my Facebook wall or tag me on Instagram!

Suicide is the act of purposely ending one's own life. The way societies view suicide varies widely according to culture and religion. For example, many Western cultures, as well as mainstream Judaism, Islam, and Christianity tend to view killing oneself as quite negative. One myth about suicide that may be the result of this view is considering suicide (suicidal ideation) to always be the result of a mental illness. Some societies also treat a suicide attempt as if it were a crime. However, suicides are sometimes seen as understandable or even honorable in certain circumstances, such as in protest to persecution (for example, a hunger strike), as part of battle or resistance (for example, suicide pilots of World War II; suicide bombers), or as a way of preserving the honor of a dishonored person (for example, killing oneself to preserve the honor or safety of family members).
Nearly 1 million people worldwide commit suicide each year, with anywhere from 10 million to 20 million suicide attempts annually. About 30,000 people reportedly kill themselves each year in the United States. The true number of suicides is likely higher because some deaths that were thought to be an accident, like a single-car accident, overdose, or shooting, are not recognized as being a suicide. Suicide is the eighth leading cause of death in males and the 16th leading cause of death in females. The higher frequency of completed suicides in males versus females is consistent across the life span. In the United States, boys 10-14 years of age commit suicide twice as often as their female peers. Teenage boys 15-19 years of age complete suicide five times as often as girls their age, and men 20-24 years of age commit suicide 10 times as often as women their age. Gay, lesbian, and other sexual minority youth are more at risk for thinking about and attempting suicide than heterosexual teens.
There are trends regarding the means of committing suicide as well. For example, the frequency of hanging or other forms of self-suffocation increased from 1992 to 2006, while committing suicide by a firearm has decreased during that period of time.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death for people 10-24 years of age. Teen suicide statistics for youths 15-19 years of age indicate that from 1950-1990, the frequency of suicides increased by 300% and from 1990-2003, that rate decreased by 35%. However, from 2000-2006, the rate of suicide has gradually increased, both in the 10-24 years and the 25-64 years old age groups. As of 2010, about 22% of all suicides were committed by people who had been in the military at some time in their lives.
While the rate of murder-suicide remains low at 0.0001%, the devastation it creates makes it a concerning public-health issue.
The rate of suicide can vary with the time of year, as wells as with the time of day. For example, the number of suicides by train tends to peak soon after sunset and about 10 hours earlier each day. Although professionals like police officers and dentists are thought to be more vulnerable to suicide than others, important flaws have been found in the research upon which those claims are based.
As opposed to suicidal behavior, self-mutilation is defined as deliberately hurting oneself without meaning to cause one's own death. Examples of self-mutilating behaviors include cutting any part of the body, usually of the wrists. Self-tattooing is also considered self-mutilation. Other self-injurious behaviors include self-burning, head banging, pinching, and scratching.
Physician-assisted suicide is defined as ending the life of a person who is terminally ill in a way that is either painless or minimally painful for the purpose of ending suffering of the individual. It is also called euthanasia and mercy killing. In 1997, the United States Supreme Court ruled against endorsing physician-assisted suicide as a constitutional right but allowed for individual states to enact laws that permit it to be done. As of 2011, Oregon, Washington, Vermont, and Montana were the only states with laws in effect that authorized physician-assisted suicide. Physician-assisted suicide seems to be less offensive to people compared to assisted suicide that is done by a nonphysician, although the acceptability of both means to end life tends to increase as people age and with the severity of medical illness and the number of times the person who desires their own death repeatedly asks for such assistance.
What are the most common methods of suicide?
Firearms are the most commonly used method of suicide for men and women, accounting for 60 percent of all suicides. Nearly 80 percent of all firearm suicides are committed by white males. The second most common method for men is hanging; for women, the second most common method is self-poisoning including drug overdose. The presence of a firearm in the home has been found to be an independent, additional risk factor for suicide. Thus, when a family member or health care provider is faced with an individual at risk for suicide, they should make sure that firearms are removed from the home.
Why do men commit suicide more often than women do?
More than four times as many men as women die by suicide; but women attempt suicide more often during their lives than do men, and women report higher rates of depression. Several explanations have been offered: a) Completed suicide is associated with aggressive behavior that is more common in men, and which may in turn be related to some of the biological differences identified in suicidality. b) Men and women use different suicide methods. Women in all countries are more likely to ingest poisons than men. In countries where the poisons are highly lethal and/or where treatment resources scarce, rescue is rare and hence female suicides outnumber males. More research is needed on the social-cultural factors that may protect women from completing suicide, and how to encourage men to recognize and seek treatment for their distress, instead of resorting to suicide.
There is a common perception that suicide rates are highest among the young. However, it is the elderly, particularly older white males that have the highest rates. And among white males 65 and older, risk goes up with age. White men 85 and older have a suicide rate that is six times that of the overall national rate. Why are rates so high for this group? White males are more deliberate in their suicide intentions; they use more lethal methods (firearms), and are less likely to talk about their plans. It may also be that older persons are less likely to survive attempts because they are less likely to recuperate. Over 70 percent of older suicide victims have been to their primary care physician within the month of their death, many with a depressive illness that was not detected. This has led to research efforts to determine how to best improve physicians' abilities to detect and treat depression in older adults.
What are the effects of suicide?
The effects of suicidal behavior or completed suicide on friends and family members are often devastating. Individuals who lose a loved one to suicide (suicide survivors) are more at risk for becoming preoccupied with the reason for the suicide while wanting to deny or hide the cause of death, wondering if they could have prevented it, feeling blamed for the problems that preceded the suicide, feeling rejected by their loved one, and stigmatized by others. Survivors may experience a great range of conflicting emotions about the deceased, feeling everything from intense emotional pain and sadness about the loss, helpless to prevent it, longing for the person they lost, and anger at the deceased for taking their own life to relief if the suicide took place after years of physical or mental illness in their loved one. This is quite understandable given that the person they are grieving is at the same time the victim and the perpetrator of the fatal act.
Individuals left behind by the suicide of a loved one tend to experience complicated grief in reaction to that loss. Symptoms of grief that may be experienced by suicide survivors include intense emotion and longings for the deceased, severely intrusive thoughts about the lost loved one, extreme feelings of isolation and emptiness, avoiding doing things that bring back memories of the departed, new or worsened sleep problems, and having no interest in activities that the sufferer used to enjoy.
Though many people considering suicide seem sad, some mask their feelings with excessive energy. Agitation, hyperactivity, and restlessness may indicate an underlying depression that is being concealed.
Many people believe that even though a person might talk about suicide, they will not actually do it. In fact, talking about suicide is a warning sign that the person is at greater risk. If you become so overwhelmed by your problems that suicide becomes a consideration, you deserve to be taken seriously.
Talking about suicide means that the potential exists to take your own life - even if you do not actually do it. Denial will not make the threat of suicide disappear and can only leave you feeling more alone and in anguish. If you are having thoughts of suicide, see your doctor or a counsellor for help.
What biological factors increase risk for suicide?
Researchers believe that both depression and suicidal behavior can be linked to decreased serotonin in the brain. Low levels of a serotonin metabolite, 5-HIAA, have been detected in cerebral spinal fluid in persons who have attempted suicide, as well as by postmortem studies examining certain brain regions of suicide victims. One of the goals of understanding the biology of suicidal behavior is to improve treatments. Scientists have learned that serotonin receptors in the brain increase their activity in persons with major depression and suicidality, which explains why medications that desensitize or down-regulate these receptors (such as the serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs) have been found effective in treating depression. Currently, studies are underway to examine to what extent medications like SSRIs can reduce suicidal behavior.
What is the treatment for suicidal thoughts and behaviors?
Those who treat people who attempt suicide tend to adapt immediate treatment to the person's individual needs. Those who have a responsive and intact family, good friendships, generally good social supports, and who have a history of being hopeful and have a desire to resolve conflicts may need only a brief crisis-oriented intervention. However, those who have made previous suicide attempts, have shown a high degree of intent to kill themselves, seem to be suffering from either severe depression or other mental illness, are abusing alcohol or other drugs, have trouble controlling their impulses, or have families who are unwilling to commit to counseling are at higher risk and may need psychiatric hospitalization and long-term outpatient mental-health services to achieve recovery from their suicidal thoughts or actions.
Suicide-prevention measures that are put in place following a psychiatric hospitalization usually involve mental-health professionals trying to implement a comprehensive outpatient treatment plan prior to the individual being discharged. This is all the more important since many people fail to comply with outpatient therapy after leaving the hospital. It is often recommended that all firearms and other weapons be removed from the home, because the individual may still find access to guns and other dangerous objects stored in their home, even if locked. It is further often recommended that sharp objects and potentially lethal medications be locked up as a result of the attempt.
Vigorous treatment of the underlying psychiatric disorder is important in decreasing short-term and long-term risk. Contracting with the person against suicide has not been shown to be especially effective in preventing suicidal behavior, but the technique may still be helpful in assessing risk, since hesitation or refusal to agree to refrain from harming oneself or to fail to agree to tell a specified person may indicate an intent to harm oneself. Contracting might also help the individual identify sources of support he or she can call upon in the event that suicidal thoughts recur.
Talk therapy (psychotherapy) that focuses on helping the person understand how their thoughts and behaviors affect each other (cognitive behavioral therapy) has been found to be an effective treatment for many people who struggle with thoughts of harming themselves. School intervention programs in which teens are given support and educated about the risk factors, symptoms, and ways to manage suicidal thoughts in themselves and how to engage adults when they or a peer expresses suicidal thinking have been found to decrease the number of times adolescents report attempting suicide.
Although concerns have been raised about the possibility that antidepressant medications increase the frequency of suicide attempts, mental-health professionals try to put those concerns in the context of the need to treat the severe emotional problems that are usually associated with attempting suicide and the fact that the number of suicides that are completed by mentally ill individuals seems to decrease with treatment. The effectiveness of medication treatment for depression in teens is supported by research, particularly when medication is combined with psychotherapy. In fact, concern has been expressed that the reduction of antidepressant prescribing since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration required that warning labels be placed on these medications may be related to the 18.2% increase in U.S. youth suicides from 2003-2004 after a decade of steady decrease. While the use of specific antidepressants has been associated with lower suicide rates in adolescents over the long term, uncommon short-term side effects of serotonergic antidepressants (for example, fluoxetine [Prozac], sertraline [Zoloft], paroxetine [Paxil], or escitalopram [Lexapro]) may include an increase in suicide. Therefore, most practitioners consider antidepressant medication an important part of treating depression while closely monitoring their patients' progress to prevent suicide.
Mood-stabilizing medications like lithium (Lithobid) -- as well as medications that address bizarre thinking and/or severe anxiety, like clozapine (Clozaril), risperidone (Risperdal), and aripiprazole (Abilify) -- have also been found to decrease the likelihood of individuals killing themselves.
Do school-based suicide awareness programs prevent youth suicide?
Despite good intentions and extensive efforts to develop suicide awareness and prevention programs for youth in schools, few programs have been evaluated to see if they work. Many of these programs are designed to reduce the stigma of talking about suicide and encourage distressed youth to seek help. Of the programs that were evaluated, none has proven to be effective. In fact, some programs have had unintended negative effects by making at-risk youth more distressed and less likely to seek help. By describing suicide and its risk factors, some curricula may have the unintended effect of suggesting that suicide is an option for many young people who have some of the risk factors and in that sense "normalize" it—just the opposite message intended. Prevention efforts must be carefully planned, implemented and scientifically tested. Because of the tremendous effort and cost involved in starting and maintaining programs, we should be certain that they are safe and effective before they are further used or promoted.
There are number of prevention approaches that are less likely to have negative effects, and have broader positive outcomes in addition to reducing suicide. One approach is to promote overall mental health among school-aged children by reducing early risk factors for depression, substance abuse and aggressive behaviors. In addition to the potential for saving lives, many more youth benefit from overall enhancement of academic performance and reduction in peer and family conflict. A second approach is to detect youth most likely to be suicidal by confidentially screening for depression, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation. If a youth reports any of these, further evaluation of the youth takes place by professionals, followed by referral for treatment as needed. Adequate treatment of mental disorder among youth, whether they are suicidal or not, has important academic, peer and family relationship benefits.
Do not hesitate to talk about suicide. If you think that someone you know is considering suicide, raise the subject. People are often relieved to talk to somebody about it. Recognizing their agony helps to ease the distress of carrying the burden of pain alone. It is important to listen to what somebody has to say without passing judgment on their feelings. Keep in mind that having no opportunity to talk about how badly they feel will only make a person feel more isolated.
You may sometimes worry that bringing up the subject of suicide will give ideas to an individual who is already depressed. On the contrary, showing your concern lets a person in distress know that somebody is listening to them. If that person really is considering taking their own life, talking provides an outlet for intense, often overwhelming feelings.
Ask direct questions - avoiding the topic may show that you do not take a person's threats seriously enough to inquire. Find out if suicide has been considered, and if they have thought out how and when they want to do it. The more details that have been worked out, the greater the danger that someone plans to commit suicide.
Suicide attempts are often a cry for help. While suicidal people are still alive, they may be holding out hope that they will find the means to cope with their emotions. Urge anybody who is considering suicide to get the counselling and medical or psychological support that they need as soon as possible.
If someone tells you they are thinking about suicide, you should take their distress seriously, listen nonjudgmentally, and help them get to a professional for evaluation and treatment. People consider suicide when they are hopeless and unable to see alternative solutions to problems. Suicidal behavior is most often related to a mental disorder (depression) or to alcohol or other substance abuse. Suicidal behavior is also more likely to occur when people experience stressful events (major losses, incarceration). If someone is in imminent danger of harming himself or herself, do not leave the person alone. You may need to take emergency steps to get help. When someone is in a suicidal crisis, it is important to limit access to firearms or other lethal means of committing suicide.
Are gay and lesbian youth at high risk for suicide?
With regard to completed suicide, there are no national statistics for suicide rates among gay, lesbian or bisexual (GLB) persons. Sexual orientation is not a question on the death certificate, and to determine whether rates are higher for GLB persons, we would need to know the proportion of the U.S. population that considers themselves gay, lesbian or bisexual. Sexual orientation is a personal characteristic that people can, and often do choose to hide, so that in psychological autopsy studies of suicide victims where risk factors are examined, it is difficult to know for certain the victim's sexual orientation. This is particularly a problem when considering GLB youth who may be less certain of their sexual orientation and less open. In the few studies examining risk factors for suicide where sexual orientation was assessed, the risk for gay or lesbian persons did not appear any greater than among heterosexuals, once mental and substance abuse disorders were taken into account.
With regard to suicide attempts, several state and national studies have reported that high school students who report to be homosexually and bisexually active have higher rates of suicide thoughts and attempts in the past year compared to youth with heterosexual experience. Experts have not been in complete agreement about the best way to measure reports of adolescent suicide attempts, or sexual orientation, so the data are subject to question. But they do agree that efforts should focus on how to help GLB youth grow up to be healthy and successful despite the obstacles that they face. Because school based suicide awareness programs have not proven effective for youth in general, and in some cases have caused increased distress in vulnerable youth, they are not likely to be helpful for GLB youth either. Because young people should not be exposed to programs that do not work, and certainly not to programs that increase risk, more research is needed to develop safe and effective programs.
Are African American youth at great risk for suicide?
Historically, African Americans have had much lower rates of suicides compared to white Americans. However, beginning in the 1980s, the rates for African American male youth began to rise at a much faster rate than their white counterparts. The most recent trends suggest a decrease in suicide across all gender and racial groups, but health policy experts remain concerned about the increase in suicide by firearms for all young males. Whether African American male youth are more likely to engage in "victim-precipitated homicide" by deliberately getting in the line of fire of either gang or law enforcement activity, remains an important research question, as such deaths are not typically classified as suicides.
Is suicide related to impulsiveness?
Impulsiveness is the tendency to act without thinking through a plan or its consequences. It is a symptom of a number of mental disorders, and therefore, it has been linked to suicidal behavior usually through its association with mental disorders and/or substance abuse. The mental disorders with impulsiveness most linked to suicide include borderline personality disorder among young females, conduct disorder among young males and antisocial behavior in adult males, and alcohol and substance abuse among young and middle-aged males. Impulsiveness appears to have a lesser role in older adult suicides. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder that has impulsiveness as a characteristic is not a strong risk factor for suicide by itself. Impulsiveness has been linked with aggressive and violent behaviors including homicide and suicide. However, impulsiveness without aggression or violence present has also been found to contribute to risk for suicide.
Is there such a thing as "rational" suicide?
Some right-to-die advocacy groups promote the idea that suicide, including assisted suicide, can be a rational decision. Others have argued that suicide is never a rational decision and that it is the result of depression, anxiety and fear of being dependent or a burden. Surveys of terminally ill persons indicate that very few consider taking their own life, and when they do, it is in the context of depression. Attitude surveys suggest that assisted suicide is more acceptable by the public and health providers for the old who are ill or disabled, compared to the young who are ill or disabled. At this time, there is limited research on the frequency with which persons with terminal illness have depression and suicidal ideation, whether they would consider assisted suicide, the characteristics of such persons, and the context of their depression and suicidal thoughts, such as family stress, or availability of palliative care. Neither is it yet clear what effect other factors such as the availability of social support, access to care, and pain relief may have on end-of-life preferences. This public debate will be better informed after such research is conducted.
Can the risk for suicide be inherited?
There is growing evidence that familial and genetic factors contribute to the risk for suicidal behavior. Major psychiatric illnesses, including bipolar disorder, major depression, schizophrenia, alcoholism and substance abuse, and certain personality disorders, which run in families, increase the risk for suicidal behavior. This does not mean that suicidal behavior is inevitable for individuals with this family history; it simply means that such persons may be more vulnerable and should take steps to reduce their risk, such as getting evaluation and treatment at the first sign of mental illness.
Although the majority of people who have depression do not die by suicide, having major depression does increase suicide risk compared to people without depression. The risk of death by suicide may, in part, be related to the severity of the depression. New data on depression that has followed people over long periods of time suggests that about 2% of those people ever treated for depression in an outpatient setting will die by suicide. Among those ever treated for depression in an inpatient hospital setting, the rate of death by suicide is twice as high (4%). Those treated for depression as inpatients following suicide ideation or suicide attempts are about three times as likely to die by suicide (6%) as those who were only treated as outpatients. There are also dramatic gender differences in lifetime risk of suicide in depression. Whereas about 7% of men with a lifetime history of depression will die by suicide, only 1% of women with a lifetime history of depression will die by suicide.
Another way about thinking of suicide risk and depression is to examine the lives of people who have died by suicide and see what proportion of them were depressed. From that perspective, it is estimated that about 60% of people who commit suicide have had a mood disorder (e.g., major depression, bipolar disorder, dysthymia). Younger persons who kill themselves often have a substance abuse disorder in addition to being depressed.
A number of recent national surveys have helped shed light on the relationship between alcohol and other drug use and suicidal behavior. A review of minum-age drinking laws and suicides among youths age 18 to 20 found that lower minimum-age drinking laws was associated with higher youth suicide rates. In a large study following adults who drink alcohol, suicide ideation was reported among persons with depression. In another survey, persons who reported that they had made a suicide attempt during their lifetime were more likely to have had a depressive disorder, and many also had an alcohol and/or substance abuse disorder. In a study of all nontraffic injury deaths associated with alcohol intoxication, over 20 percent were suicides.
In studies that examine risk factors among people who have completed suicide, substance use and abuse occurs more frequently among youth and adults, compared to older persons. For particular groups at risk, such as American Indians and Alaskan Natives, depression and alcohol use and abuse are the most common risk factors for completed suicide. Alcohol and substance abuse problems contribute to suicidal behavior in several ways. Persons who are dependent on substances often have a number of other risk factors for suicide. In addition to being depressed, they are also likely to have social and financial problems. Substance use and abuse can be common among persons prone to be impulsive, and among persons who engage in many types of high risk behaviors that result in self-harm. Fortunately, there are a number of effective prevention efforts that reduce risk for substance abuse in youth, and there are effective treatments for alcohol and substance use problems. Researchers are currently testing treatments specifically for persons with substance abuse problems who are also suicidal, or have attempted suicide in the past.
What does "suicide contagion" mean, and what can be done to prevent it?
Suicide contagion is the exposure to suicide or suicidal behaviors within one's family, one's peer group, or through media reports of suicide and can result in an increase in suicide and suicidal behaviors. Direct and indirect exposure to suicidal behavior has been shown to precede an increase in suicidal behavior in persons at risk for suicide, especially in adolescents and young adults.
The risk for suicide contagion as a result of media reporting can be minimized by factual and concise media reports of suicide. Reports of suicide should not be repetitive, as prolonged exposure can increase the likelihood of suicide contagion. Suicide is the result of many complex factors; therefore media coverage should not report oversimplified explanations such as recent negative life events or acute stressors. Reports should not divulge detailed descriptions of the method used to avoid possible duplication. Reports should not glorify the victim and should not imply that suicide was effective in achieving a personal goal such as gaining media attention. In addition, information such as hotlines or emergency contacts should be provided for those at risk for suicide.
Following exposure to suicide or suicidal behaviors within one's family or peer group, suicide risk can be minimized by having family members, friends, peers, and colleagues of the victim evaluated by a mental health professional. Persons deemed at risk for suicide should then be referred for additional mental health services.

Cileungsi is a district (Indonesian: kecamatan) in the Bogor Regency, West Java, Indonesia. It is a suburb located southeast of Jakarta, south of the city of Bekasi, east of Depok and is part of its metropolitan region, Jakarta Raya. The distance between Cileungsi and Jakarta is 37.7 km (23.4 miles).

Like much of the northern part of the Bogor Regency, the district is largely made up of huge industrial parks and areas, along with many warehouses and factories, making it a huge contribution to the district's industry.

Asides from industrial areas, Cileungsi is also populated with many commuters, and can be considered bedroom community. It features a lot of real estate housing, combined with another housing area to the west, called Cibubur. As a matter of fact, the housing area of Cibubur itself is beginning to extend to Cileungsi's boundaries, starting from the early-2000s.

The eastern portion of Cileungsi is home to a huge recreational park, featuring large gardens with tropical plants and plantations, as well as a waterpark, Taman Wisata Mekarsari.

More than 700 people were injured when a magnitude 6.3 earthquake hit western Iran, authorities said Monday.
No fatalities were reported. Most of the victims suffered only slight injuries in Sunday night's quake, according to Iranian state television.
The earthquake struck near the town of Sarpol-e Zahab in Iran's Kermanshah province, which was the epicenter of an earthquake last year that killed more than 600 people and where some still remain homeless.
